I found this on but rewrote the directions as they were a bit confusing. Cod and tilapia might work well too. My DH was very happy and floating in seafood heaven ;) ! If you don't like spicy dishes, try Italian Seasoning instead of Cajun and omit the fresh thyme. Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) package cornbread stuffing mix (shake well and divide) |
4 teaspoons cajun seasoning (divided) or 4 teaspoons blackening seasoning (divided) |
2 lbs catfish fillets (about 2 large or 4 small fillets) |
3 tablespoons butter, melted (divided) |
1 cup hot water |
fresh thyme, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. COATING: Stir together 1 cup stuffing mix and 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning in a small bowl, crushing any larger pieces with your fingers (this might be less messy if done in a zip-loc baggie).
3. FISH: Rinse fish and pat dry; brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter and roll in coating.
4. Place in a shallow dish and sprinkle with any remaining coating.
5. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, approximately 20 minutes.
6. TOPPING: While fish is baking, stir together remaining stuffing mix, Cajun seasoning, 2 tablespoons butter and water in a small bowl; cover and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.
7. When fish is cooked, cover with topping & a sprinkle of thyme and serve.
