  • Season simply: Lemon pepper seasoning is a classic flavor combination that pairs perfectly with catfish. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Grill over medium heat: Catfish is a delicate fish, so it's important to grill it over medium heat to prevent it from overcooking.
  • Cook until flaky: Catfish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Grilled lemon pepper catfish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
