Cajun Baked Catfish
Ingredients
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons Cajun or blackened seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
2 catfish or tilapia fillets (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Baking your catfish makes this meal much easier, with no worry of oil getting everywhere. It is still breaded in cornmeal and seasoned with some Cajun seasoning, so you won't miss anything at all!
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl, mix the first 6 ingredients.
Dip fillets in cornmeal mixture to coat both sides. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake until fish begins to flake easily with fork, 20-25 minutes.
