Simple Cajun Style Catfish

Lightly Seasoned Cajun Catfish

Ingredients:

• catfish fillets
• extra virgin olive oil
• cajun seasoning

Directions:

Preheat a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Lightly sprinkle catfish fillets with cajun seasoning and generously rub into the flesh.

Pan sear the fillets for 3 minutes per side or until done, in which it should have a nice golden colored crisp outside layer and a moist flaky texture inside.

Best served immediately. As you can see in the two pictures above, the cajun catfish is plated and served with different sides. One has white rice with sauteed onions and peppers, while the other is served with roasted tomatoes. Feel free to use those examples for your own dish, or go ahead and get creative with some good ole' southern style sides of your choice.

Tip: This is a light and mild version of a cajun style blackened catfish recipe.

Fish Substitution Tip: You can substitute the catfish for other varieties of moderately lean fish. However, I think that tilapia, walleye, striped bass, and salmon are a few others that are upon the most complimentary types of fish for cooking this cajun style fish dish recipe.
