CAJUN BAKED CATFISH DIJON



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.

CAJUN BAKED CATFISH

I've been making this recipe for years, and it's very good. I believe I clipped this recipe from the Tulsa World Newspaper in the 80's, but don't remember the origin. This is a nice change from fried catfish. You can use any fish, toss in some shrimp, green pepper, celery and fresh tomatoes are also good. Serve with rice. Posted for ZWT5.
