Cajun Catfish

Ingredients

• 2 lbs catfish
• cooking spray or butter
• salt
• garlic powder
• cayenne pepper
• chili powder (choose a good brand because it affects the taste)
• black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350*.

2. 2

   Spray one or two casserole dishes or baking sheets with cooking spray or butter the dish with some butter.

3. 3

   Place catfish in casserole dishes (or on baking sheets).

4. 4

   Sprinkle top side of catfish first with salt, then garlic powder, then cayenne, chili powder and black pepper so that you get them a nice red color. I put the ingredients on in the order listed so I can see how much of each I am putting on. I go lightly on the cayenne powder and salt and heavier on the chili powder so that the seasonings are very visible. Adjust the seasonings to your personal taste.

5. 5

   Turn fish over and season the other side the same way as above.

6. 6

   Bake for 20-25 minutes until fish flakes with a fork and it cooked thoroughly. Do not overbake because fish will become dry.

7. 7

   Serve.
