    • Step-By-Step Method for Catfish Fillets
    • Gather all ingredients: catfish fillets, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, butter
    • Rinse catfish fillets gently under cold water and pat dry with paper towels
    • Combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a bowl to create a spice blend
    • Evenly season both sides of the catfish fillets with the spice blend
    • Drizzle lemon juice over both sides of the seasoned fillets and set aside for 10 minutes
    • Preheat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat
    • Add olive oil to the pan and heat until shimmering
    • Lay catfish fillets in the pan without overlapping
    • Cook fillets for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them
    • Flip fillets gently and add a small amount of butter to the pan
    • Cook second side for 3-4 minutes, spooning melted butter over the fillets as they finish
    • Check doneness: fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork
    • Remove cooked fillets and allow to rest for 2 minutes
    • Plate fillets with a drizzle of any remaining pan juices and an extra splash of lemon juice if desired
    • Serve immediately, optionally garnish with fresh herbs or a lemon wedge for presentation
