Ingredients

  • 4 catfish fillets
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the catfish fillets.
  4. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned catfish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the catfish fillets to the greased baking dish and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  7. Remove the catfish from the oven and pour the creamy sauce over the fillets. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
