Blackened Catfish #5

[tubeN2]

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 pound catfish fillets
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup Italian-style salad dressing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a
medium baking dish.

In a shallow, medium bowl, mix cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, garlic
powder, salt and pepper.

Brush both sides of catfish fillets with butter. Coat fillets with
equal amounts of the cayenne pepper mixture. In a medium saucepan
over medium high heat, cook fillets approximately 2 minutes on each
side, until slightly blackened.

Arrange blackened fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking
dish, and coat with Italian-style salad dressing. Bake 30 to 35
minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a
fork.
