INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish Fillet
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup diced Zucchini
1/4 cup chopped Red Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
Spice Blend (Paprika, Cayenne, Garlic Powder, Salt, Black Pepper)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the spice blend.
Pat the catfish fillet dry with paper towels. Rub the spice blend evenly over both sides of the fillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the catfish, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a crispy, blackened crust.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and chopped red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, a pinch of the spice blend, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Serve the crispy blackened catfish atop a bed of spicy roasted vegetables. Optionally, garnish with a squeeze of additional lemon juice for extra brightness.
