4. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Carefully place fillets in the hot oil and fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Drain on paper towels. Pour some of the aioli onto each serving plate and top with the catfish fillets.
