Cajun Catfish (Broiled)
May 15th, 2009 by Kevin Simpkins - Recipe From Myrecipes.com.
The big fish fry is scheduled for 5/16/2008. Boy am I excited! I am also thinking about making a more healthy version that I found on myrecipes.com. It takes a different approach by broiling the fish. The pictures look great! I will let you know how it works out.
There's no better fish to showcase the spices and flavors of Louisiana's bayou country than catfish. Slaw and sliced tomatoes make great go-withs.
Ingredients:
4 (4-ounce) farm-raised catfish fillets
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
Vegetable cooking spray
Lemon wedges (optional)
Preparation:
Brush both sides of fillets with lemon juice, and sprinkle with Cajun Seasoning. Place fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and broil 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
Yield:
4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet)
