INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus and preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for the catfish.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
Pat the catfish fillets dry and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
Lightly toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they are tender and crispy around the edges.
While the asparagus roasts, add the seasoned catfish to the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until a dark, flavorful crust forms and the fish flakes easily.
Once cooked, drizzle the catfish with lemon juice for a bright finish.
Plate the spicy blackened catfish alongside the crispy roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
