Serves 6

¼ cup canola oil
4 teaspoons garlic salt
4 teaspoons dried thyme
4 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce
Black pepper to taste
6 catfish filets
2 lemons

In a small bowl whisk together the canola oil, garlic salt, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, hot sauce and black pepper.  Brush over both sides of each filet evenly, using all of the spice mixture.

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium/high heat until very hot, add the catfish filets and squeeze the juice of one of the lemons on top of them. Cook catfish filets for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Squeeze the remaining juice over the fish after they are done cooking. Serve right away.
