Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb fried catfish
  • a pinch yellow onion
  • 4 oz garlic
  • 1/4 cup smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 cup kosher salt
  • 3 cloves cracked black pepper
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the fried catfish dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the fried catfish, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
Keep cooking
