INGREDIENTS
7 oz Catfish Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Brussels Sprouts, halved
1 medium Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Spice Blend (Paprika, Cayenne, Garlic & Onion Powder)
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Rinse and pat dry the catfish fillet. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the fillet, pressing it into the surface.
Place the seasoned catfish on a lined baking tray.
Prepare the vegetables by trimming and halving the Brussels sprouts and slicing the red bell pepper. Toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a separate baking tray and roast them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred around the edges.
Bake the blackened catfish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until cooked through and opaque.
While everything is baking, warm up the pre-cooked quinoa if needed.
Plate the catfish alongside a serving of roasted vegetables and quinoa. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the top just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
