Blackened Catfish
4 servings

2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (5- to 6-ounce) U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except catfish; mix well.
Sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of catfish, patting seasoning lightly onto fish.
Place fish in a hinged grill basket that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray (see Note).
Grill fish 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.

NOTE - If you don't have a grill basket, be sure to spray your grill with nonstick cooking spray before heating to help keep your fish from falling apart when you flip it.
