Cajun Baked Catfish Dijon image

Simple tasty baked fish recipe with that Cajun kick. Good for any flaky white fish fillets but catfish is the classic. Be careful how you mix the Dijon and the hot sauce, one overpowers the other or the two overpower the fish. I like to sprinkle some strong paprika (i.e. cayenne) at presentation for effect. Garnish with lemon wedges.

I'm allergic to catfish, so I made this recipe with tilapia instead. It turned out just as good!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover catfish. I made it with some catfish that I had leftover from a fish fry.

I've never cooked catfish before, but this recipe made it easy. The fish was cooked perfectly and the Dijon sauce was delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my catfish turned out soggy. I think I might have added too much oil.

The catfish was delicious, but the Dijon sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste.

I didn't have any Dijon mustard, so I used yellow mustard instead. It still turned out great!

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The catfish is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The Dijon sauce is also delicious.

This catfish recipe was a hit with my family! The Dijon sauce added a tangy flavor that complemented the fish perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
