Time 25m

Yield 4 servings (8 tacos)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill grates
8 tortillas, flour or corn (8-inch diameter)
1/4 cup Cajun blackening seasoning
1 pound catfish fillets
1 red onion, sliced into thick rings
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, diced
1/2 cup sour cream
Lime wedges, for serving
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Coat a grill rack with oil and preheat the grill on high for 5 minutes.
  • Place the blackening seasoning in a shallow baking dish. Roll the catfish in the seasoning until well coated. Reduce the grill to medium-high, and grill the onions over direct heat until well browned and wilting, turning once, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the fish over direct heat until cooked through, turning once, about 6 minutes. At the same time, place the tortillas directly on the grill for 1 minute per side. Stack the tortillas and wrap them in foil or a clean towel to keep warm.
  • Arrange the fish on a plate, and flake into bite-size pieces with a fork. Transfer the onions to a separate plate. Place the tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, lime wedges and cilantro in separate bowls. Set out with the warm tortillas and hot sauce, and invite guests to make their own tacos.

4 (6 ounce) fillets catfish (Blackened Catfish Recipe begins)
1/4 cup blackened red fish seasoning
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups shredded lettuce (or shredded cabbage)
2 plum tomatoes, medium dice
12 (4 -5 inch) flour tortillas
salt and white pepper (to taste)
1 cup mayonnaise (Cajun Remoulade Recipe begins)
4 gherkins, minced
2 tablespoons red peppers, minced
2 tablespoons creole mustard
2 teaspoons capers, rinsed and chopped
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 lemons, juiced
salt and white pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Blackened Catfish.
  • Season fish liberally on one side with blackening spice and a small amount of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Place cast iron skillet on a burner and turn on high for about 3 minutes, until it becomes very hot. Turn off flame, add oil and place fish, seasoning side down, in pan.
  • Turn flame back on and cook fish, seasoning side down, until translucent, about 5 minutes. The fish will turn white except for a small amount of pink in center. At this point, turn off heat and flip fish over in pan.
  • Allow to sit in pan for about 1 minute. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to absorb some of residual oil.
  • Heat three tortillas in microwave for 30 seconds, to warm. Spread a small amount of remoulade on each tortilla, then lay three roughly equal-sized portions of fish on individual tacos. Top with lettuce (or cabbage) and tomato, then dollop a generous portion of remoulade on top of tacos. Makes 4 servings of 3 tacos.
