INGREDIENTS
7 oz Catfish Fillet (198g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning (2.3g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Pat the catfish fillet dry and generously coat both sides with Cajun seasoning.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat. Sear the fish for about 2 minutes on each side to develop a blackened crust.
While the fish sears, arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with additional Cajun seasoning if desired.
Place the asparagus in the preheated oven and roast for 8-10 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Finish cooking the catfish in the skillet for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side, ensuring it is cooked through.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the catfish and asparagus just before serving for a burst of brightness.
Plate the blackened catfish alongside the roasted asparagus and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
