CAJUN-STYLE FILLET OF CATFISH WITH SPICY BUTTER SAUCE
This works well with Talipia also. I didn't have bread to make fresh crumbs from once and used packaged crumbs but I much prefer the fresh crumbs. If you don't have fresh herbs, use half the amounts listed of dried herbs (but fresh is best).

SPICY CAJUN BUTTER
Cooking time is chilling time. Herb butters are a nifty way to spice up any meal. I like herbed butters as a quick easy way to flavor frozen or canned veggies. Just add a dab of herbed butter and heat up the veggies. You can substitute margarine for the butter. If you choose to use dried herbs instead of fresh use 1/3- 1/2 times the amount called for.

Tips:
- Use high-quality butter. The better the butter, the better the Cajun butter will be. Look for unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The basic Cajun butter recipe can be customized to your liking. Add more cayenne pepper for a spicier butter, or add some smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
- Let the butter sit for a while before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
- Use Cajun butter on all your favorite foods. It's great on grilled chicken, fish, shrimp, vegetables, and even popcorn.
