1. 1

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, honey, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika.

2. 2

   Simmer the sauce for 10-12 minutes until thickened, then set aside half for glazing and half for serving.

3. 3

   Pat the catfish fillets dry and season both sides generously with the Cajun seasoning.

4. 4

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.

   Place catfish on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing heavily with the bourbon BBQ sauce during the last 2 minutes.

6. 6

   While the fish finishes, split the French rolls, spread with butter, and toast them on the grill until golden brown.

   Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the toasted rolls, then add the grilled catfish fillets.

8. 8

   Top the sandwiches with shredded lettuce and tomato slices, drizzling with extra BBQ sauce before closing.
