B(lackened) C(atfish) L(ettuce) T(omato) Tacos

Breakfast tacos? Why not. These are loaded with blackened catfish, homemade basil crema, lettuce and tomato. They are actually simple enough I'd be willing to put them together as a breakfast food, but full disclosure, they were dinner tacos first. Only the leftovers got eaten for breakfast.
I think I could get the fish more blackened in the broiler.
Having cooked the fish indoors on a cast iron skillet (as directed by the recipe) I will toss out one warning; these send a lot of smoke wafting through the house. Didn't set off a smoke alarm, but it could have. If I repeat these I'll probably try making them under the broiler instead of on the stove to see if that gets the blackening without the smoke.
You will also have more crema than one batch of tacos. I put the rest on nachos, so this is a solvable problem.
BCLT Tacos
Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? I'd consider repeating these, and I have another 1lb of catfish because I could only find it in 2lb quantities, but I don't think they'll be a regular thing in my house.
