INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Yellow Bell Pepper
1 small Yellow Onion
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning evenly on both sides of the fillet.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the red bell pepper into strips, slice the yellow bell pepper into thin pieces, and cut the yellow onion into wedges.
Place the peppers and onions in a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to evenly coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Spread the vegetable mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the edges.
While the vegetables are roasting, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned catfish fillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until the fish is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside a generous serving of roasted bell peppers and onions. Garnish with a squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve hot.
