INGREDIENTS
6 oz Catfish Fillet (170g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (14g)
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the catfish fillet dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub the seasoning blend evenly on both sides of the catfish fillet.
Drizzle half of the olive oil into the heated skillet and place the fillet in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and has a beautiful blackened crust.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender yet slightly crisp.
Serve the blackened catfish alongside the roasted asparagus, and squeeze a lemon wedge over the top for a burst of freshness.
