The zesty gravy is made with a combination of butter, garlic, lemon juice, and chicken broth, which adds a tangy and savory flavor to the dish.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 catfish fillets
- 2 tablespoons of paprika
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of onion powder

To start, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning blend onto both sides of the catfish fillets.
Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the seasoned catfish fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.
Remove the catfish fillets from the skillet and set them aside. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
To serve, place the blackened catfish fillets on a plate and spoon the zesty gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.

The blackened catfish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the zesty gravy adds a delicious kick of flavor.
