Steps:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, oregano, and thyme until thoroughly combined. Press the catfish fillets into the spice mixture to thoroughly coat.
- Arrange a portable heat source outdoors, such as a butane burner or side burner of a gas grill. Melt butter in a glass or metal bowl. Light the burner, and place a large cast-iron skillet onto the burner over high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of melted butter into the skillet; set remaining 1/2 cup of butter aside.
- When the butter in the skillet is smoking hot, lay the catfish fillets into the skillet. Cook until the spices are burned onto the fillets and the catfish is opaque and flaky inside, about 3 minutes per side. Don't breathe smoke from burning spices. To serve, pour remaining 1/2 cup of butter over the catfish.

Steps:
- The fillets should be at room temperature. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash in the skillet bottom, at least for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pour 2 tablespoons melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Reserve the remaining butter. Heat the serving plates in a 250-degree oven. Dip each fillet in the reserved melted butter so that both sides are well coated. Then, mix thoroughly all the spices for blackening mixture and sprinkle the Blackening Spice Mixture generously and evenly on both sides of the fillets. Place 1 or 2 fillets in skillet and cook uncovered over very high heat until the underside becomes deep brown, almost black (but not burned), about 2 minutes (the time may vary according to the fillet's thickness and the heat of the skillet). Turn the fish over and pour 1 teaspoon of butter on top of each. Cook until fish is done, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets. Serve each fillet while hot. To serve, place 1 fillet and a ramekin of butter on each plate.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Catfish: Opt for firm and fresh catfish fillets with a mild flavor. Avoid fillets that appear slimy or have an off odor.
- Achieving the Perfect Blackening: To achieve the signature blackened crust, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or griddle. Heat the pan over high heat before adding the seasoned catfish fillets. Sear the fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have a crispy, blackened exterior.
- Homemade Blackening Seasoning: Create your own flavorful blackening seasoning by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Adjust the proportions to suit your preferred level of heat and spiciness.
- Preparing the Quesadilla Filling: Beyond the blackened catfish, incorporate a variety of ingredients into your quesadilla filling. Consider options like roasted red peppers, sautéed onions, fresh cilantro, grated cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack), and a creamy sauce or salsa for added richness and flavor.
- Assembling the Quesadilla: Place a tortilla on a hot skillet or griddle. Layer the blackened catfish and your chosen fillings evenly over one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, ensuring that the fillings are enclosed. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
