DJ Paul Shows How to Make Pan-Seared Catfish

DJ Paul is known by many for co-founding the award-winning rap collective Three 6 Mafia and creating tracks that dominate clubs.

He’s also an avid cook.

A few years ago, DJ Paul took his culinary passion to the next level and created his own barbecue rub and sauce. He also launched a cooking website that features special recipes and instructional videos.

Here is the recipe for DJ Paul’s pan-seared catfish:

1. Rinse catfish fillets
2. Coat the catfish with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1/2 tsp of Cayenne Pepper and DJ Paul’s BBQ Rub Seasoning
3. Cover catfish with saran wrap and place into refrigerator for 30 minutes
4. Place a pan over high heat on your stovetop and drizzle it with a little olive oil
5. When you start to see smoke rising from the pan, you can place the catfish onto the pan
6. Pan-fry the catfish for three minutes on each side
7. Add more DJ Paul’s BBQ Rub Seasoning, salt and pepper to taste
8. Serve with hot sauce or tartar sauce
