Blackened catfish is a delicious way to prepare and serve this hearty fish.
If you prefer, use swordfish or any other hearty fish in place of the catfish in this recipe.

Also, if the blackened spice is a bit too spicy for you, cut the peppers back to half.

As with any recipe, if it turns out you've peppered the dish too much, simply serve a dairy-based sauce with the dish or, in the case of a salsa or other liquid, just add some sour cream or milk.
