INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil (for catfish)
1 serving Cajun Spice Mix
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Sautéed Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil (for spinach)
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel. Brush it lightly with 1 tsp olive oil.
Evenly coat the fillet with the Cajun spice mix, ensuring all sides are well seasoned.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the seasoned catfish, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a crispy blackened crust forms and the fish flakes easily.
While the catfish cooks, prepare the side dishes. Warm the pre-cooked brown rice if needed.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the crispy Cajun blackened catfish alongside the brown rice and sautéed spinach. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the fish for an added citrus burst before serving.
