INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Catfish Fillet (approx. 142g)
1 cup Asparagus (approx. 134g)
1.5 tablespoons Olive Oil (approx. 21g)
1 teaspoon Blackened Seasoning
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat the catfish fillet dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides evenly with blackened seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the catfish for about 2 minutes per side until a crispy crust forms.
Place the seared catfish on a baking sheet.
Toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on another baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred, while the catfish bakes for an additional 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
Plate the catfish with a side of roasted asparagus and garnish with a lemon wedge. Squeeze lemon over the fish just before serving to brighten the flavors.
