Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush 4 catfish filets with 2 tbsp olive oil and evenly coat with 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
Step 2: Place the catfish on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
Step 3: While the fish grills, prepare the remoulade by whisking together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp chopped capers, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp chopped parsley in a small bowl.
Step 4: Serve the grilled catfish topped with a generous dollop of remoulade sauce.
