INGREDIENTS
8 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
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat and adjust your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Coat both sides of the fillet evenly with the spice blend.
Lightly drizzle half the olive oil onto the asparagus, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, add the remaining olive oil to the hot skillet. Once shimmering, add the catfish fillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the catfish from the skillet and serve immediately alongside the roasted asparagus.
