What you will need:
- Catfish fillets

- Stick of butter
- Bowl

Directions:
- Clean and prep the meat
- Turn on the stove to medium or high (your preference) and allow the pan to heat up
- Mix seasoning together to your liking (i advise equal amounts of each to keep a balance)
- Melt at least half a stick of butter
- Once butter is a melted, evenly distribute it across fish so that they have a generous amount of butter on both sides
