This is a great example of how to easily create a tasty, healthy entrée with just a few ingredients. Instead of the traditional battered and fried version I chose to create a version on the lighter side with tons of flavor. I normally broil or grill my fish for a healthier alternative that doesn’t over dry it out like baking does. Because the pieces of fish I purchased were thinner, broiling seemed better than grilling. However if yours are thicker, grilling would be a great option. Serves 4.
Ingredients
4 – 4 oz. catfish filets rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning
2 thinly sliced green onion for garnish
Technique
Rinse and pat the fish dry. Combine oil and seasoning in a gallon sized ziplock bag. Add fish and massage to evenly coat. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line with foil and place fish on baking sheet. Preheat the oven to low on broil and broil for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Plate individually as shown or place on a serving tray and garnish with thinly sliced green onions.
