Cajun

Cajun Catfish Steaks with blackened seasoning have a rich history rooted in the culinary traditions of the American South. This dish originated in the Cajun and Creole communities of Louisiana, where chefs sought to infuse bold flavors into the local catch. The technique of blackening, popularized by Chef Paul Prudhomme in the 1980s, involves coating the fish in a blend of spices and searing it in a hot cast-iron skillet to create a flavorful char. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in renowned seafood restaurants throughout Louisiana, where chefs expertly balance the heat of the blackened seasoning with the delicate flavor of fresh catfish. To make this dish at home, it's crucial to use high-quality Cajun seasoning and to ensure the catfish steaks are fresh and properly seasoned before blackening.
