INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Catfish Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 Lemon wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat dry the catfish fillets with a paper towel and generously season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the catfish fillets and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until a blackened crust forms and the fish is cooked through.
Meanwhile, place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with a small drizzle of olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired, and roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until tender-crisp.
Plate the seared catfish with a serving of roasted asparagus. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice over the top for a bright, fresh flavor.
