Spicy Herb Blackened Catfish with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bold flavors of blackened catfish bursting with spicy herbs, paired perfectly with tender roasted asparagus. This dish marries the smoky heat of a custom spice blend with the delicate sweetness of catfish, all enhanced by a vibrant drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Blackened Spice Mix
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F to roast the asparagus and heat a skillet over medium-high heat for the catfish.
Combine the blackened spice mix ingredients in a small bowl if making your own blend, or simply measure out 1 teaspoon of your prepared blend.
Pat the catfish fillet dry with paper towels, then rub both sides evenly with the spice mix.
Toss the asparagus with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, add a splash of olive oil to the heated skillet. Place the catfish fillet in the pan and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside the roasted asparagus, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
