Baked Cajun Catfish Ingredients 4 catfish fillets 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 lemon, sliced Salt and pepper to taste Fresh parsley for garnish Directions 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get things nice and toasty. 2. Arrange the catfish fillets in a baking dish, making sure they have a little room to cook evenly. 3. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, then sprinkle on the Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to make sure each fillet is well coated. 4. Lay the lemon slices over the top of the fillets for a bright, fresh flavor. 5. Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. 6. When it’s done, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve while it’s hot and fragrant.
