Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried dill weed
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 (4 ounce) fillets catfish
1/4 c butter, melted
1 can(s) (10 ounce) diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, partially drained

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, mix the cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dill weed, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • 4. Brush catfish fillets with the butter, and dip into the spice mixture to coat.

  • 6. Top with the partially drained diced tomatoes with green chicle peppers, and continue baking 10 more minutes, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

Tips:

  • Choose the right catfish. Fresh catfish fillets or steaks are best, but frozen fillets can also be used. If using frozen fillets, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Season the catfish well. Catfish has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. Creole-Mexican seasoning, a blend of cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper, is a great option. You can also use your favorite Cajun or blackened seasoning.
  • Cook the catfish until it is cooked through. The catfish should be cooked until it flakes easily with a fork. Depending on the thickness of the fillets or steaks, this will take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve the catfish immediately. Catfish is best served hot and fresh. You can serve it with rice, beans, tortillas, or your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Creole-Mexican catfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
