Cajun Blackened Catfish with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bold flavors of Cajun spices on perfectly seared catfish paired with tender, roasted asparagus. This dish combines aromatic blackened fish with a vibrant vegetable side, creating a balanced plate that's both heartwarming and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish Fillet
8 spears Fresh Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil (for asparagus)
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Olive Oil (for fish)
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with paper towels. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the fillet and rub it evenly.
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over both sides of the catfish, ensuring a generous, even coating.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned catfish and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is blackened on the outside and opaque in the center.
While the fish is cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus spears in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish with a lemon wedge. Squeeze the lemon over the fish just before serving for an added burst of brightness.
