Ingredients

  • 4 fillets 8 ounces each fresh catfish
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder or granulated garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450F. Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
  2. Combine the dried thyme, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne, pepper sauce, kosher salt and olive oil in a small bowl. Stir the mixture with a fork to blend it completely.
  3. Use a pastry brush or the backside of a spoon, and evenly spread the seasoning over both sides of the catfish fillet.
  4. Place the fish in the prepared baking dish and bake in the hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
  5. Serve hot with Cajun mayonnaise or tartar sauce.
