INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Catfish Fillet
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Blackening Seasoning
1 cup Arugula
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinaigrette
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
4 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
4 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the 7-ounce catfish fillet dry with paper towels.
Rub the fillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and generously coat it with blackening seasoning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the catfish in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a crispy, dark crust forms and the fish is cooked through.
While the catfish is cooking, prepare the side salad by combining 1 cup of arugula and 1/2 cup of halved cherry tomatoes in a bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette.
Lightly toss together 4 tablespoons each of freshly chopped parsley and cilantro to create a vibrant herb mix.
Plate the crispy catfish along with the fresh herb mix and salad. Add 1 lemon wedge on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Optionally, serve with 1/3 cup of cooked quinoa for extra texture and satiety.
