Simple Cajun catfish and greens
Makes 4 servings
Prep: 8 min Cook: 20 min
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- ½ small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch collard greens, cleaned, stems removed, shredded
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1½ Tbsp no-salt Cajun seasoning (or make your own blend using 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder and ½ tsp cayenne pepper).
- 4 4 oz catfish fillets (you can substitute any white fish, such as tilapia or trout)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, around 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir. Add red pepper flakes, greens, water and vinegar. Cover and cook until tender, around 20 minutes.
While greens are cooking, combine 1 Tbsp olive oil and Cajun seasoning in a shallow bowl. Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Using a pastry brush, spread each catfish fillet with the seasoning mixture and place onto baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
Distribute onto 4 plates and serve greens and catfish while warm.
