Blackened Cat Fish with Summer Succotash

For 4

2 pounds cat fish
8 tablespoons blackening spice mix
(recipe follows below)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ears of sweet corn, cut off the cob
1 cup of fresh lima beans or fava beans
2 teaspoon or Spanish paprika
2 cups or heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons of chopped parsley

Rub blackening spice over the catfish and store in refrigerator over night or for at
least 30 minutes.  To prepare, place a iron cast skillet or large sauté pan on stove top
at medium high.  Add oil and heat until just smoking.  Add catfish to pan being
careful not to crowd the pan.  May have to cook in a few separate batches.  Cook
for 4 minutes per side.  Set fish aside on a platter.  In the same pan add corn, lima
(or fava beans) Spanish paprika, parsley and heavy cream.  Bring to a boil and
reduce to a simmer until corn has thickened the cream.  About 3-5 minutes.  Place
cat fish back in the pan with the sauce to heat up and braise just a bit.  With a
spatula transfer fish to platter and spoon over your creamy succotash.  Enjoy!

3 tablespoon plus Spanish paprika
1 1/2 tablespoon sea salt
2 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
