Crispy Cajun Blackened Catfish with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bold, zesty flavors of Cajun-spiced catfish perfectly blackened to a delightful crisp, paired with tender roasted asparagus drizzled in olive oil. This dish delivers a satisfying mix of texture and spice ideal for a nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet (170g)
1 cup Fresh Asparagus (134g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (13.5g)
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 Lemon wedge
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Rinse and pat dry the catfish fillets. Lightly brush them with a small amount of olive oil.
Coat both sides of the fillets evenly with Cajun seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned catfish and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until blackened and crispy.
While the fish is searing, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them in the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside the roasted asparagus, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.
