Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (6-ounce) Farmed Channel Catfish
1 cup broccoli florets
1 serving herb-butter blend or flavored olive oil
aluminum foil
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the catfish on a 12-inch square piece of foil. Sprinkle fish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Arrange broccoli florets around fish.

  • Serve the fish fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
