Cajun Catfish & Dirty Cauliflower Rice

This has a kick to it, so I hope you like spicy!! We use to eat this a lot when we lived in Texas! It was a weekly favorite. And, it wasn't too hard to make Paleo, either! Hope you enjoy...

Ingredients:

3 catfish filets

spices:

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (you could go 1/2 tsp. depending on how hot you like it)

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. sea salt (optional... I used celtic grey sea salt)

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. paprika

4 tsp. olive oil

1 head cauliflower

dirty rice spices:

1/4 C chopped fresh parsley

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 stalk celery

1 bell pepper

1/4 C green onions

Spices: 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp black pepper

Greens... like collard, chard or spinach (I used a mix of all

In a cast iron pan, heat oil. Mix all the spices together and season fish on both sides. When oil is hot, add catfish to pan and pan fry for about 3-5 minutes on both sides. Set aside.

The fish really is quick to cook, so make the cauliflower rice first!

Shred the cauliflower in a food processor to make a "rice". In a saute pan heat 1 tsp olive oil and saute garlic and onion. Add bell pepper, celery, and green onion. Continue to saute, until Stir in spices and fresh parsley. Add to cauliflower and mix well. Microwave cauliflower, covered with plastic wrap for about 5 minutes.

Don't forget the greens! A great Southern dish wouldn't be the same without some sauteed greens! Sauteed some garlic in olive oil and add a collard and spinach green mix.

Now you're ready to serve! Enjoy...
