Cajun Blackened Catfish with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a beautifully spiced, crispy-edged catfish fillet paired with tender roasted asparagus for a dinner that's both flavorful and balanced. The bold Cajun seasoning brings a spicy kick while the light oils enhance the dish without weighing it down.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Catfish Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil (for blackening)
8 Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Olive Oil (for roasting)
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse and pat the catfish fillet dry. Brush it lightly with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Generously sprinkle the catfish with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
Heat a non-stick cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the catfish and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until a dark, blackened crust forms.
While the fish is searing, trim the tough ends off the asparagus and toss them in 1 teaspoon of olive oil with a pinch of salt.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tender.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish with a fresh lemon wedge for squeezing on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy, savory flavors of your meal.
