INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 cup Wild Rice (cooked)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Rinse and pat dry the catfish fillet. Rub the fillet evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle Cajun seasoning on both sides to form a flavorful crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the catfish for about 2-3 minutes per side until a crispy blackened exterior forms.
While the fish is cooking, trim the tough ends off the asparagus and toss with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Warm the cooked wild rice if needed and drizzle with lemon juice to brighten up the flavors.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside the roasted asparagus and wild rice. Serve immediately and enjoy the bold Cajun flavors with a refreshing citrus kick.
