INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish Fillet
1 tsp Cajun Spice Mix
2 tsp Olive Oil
2 cups Asparagus
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Rinse and pat dry the catfish fillet. Season both sides generously with Cajun spice mix, salt, and pepper.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the catfish fillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a dark, crispy crust forms. Adjust time as needed depending on the thickness.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Plate the seared catfish alongside the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
