Purchased Cajun or Creole seasoning flavors both the catfish and vegetables in this 30-minute dinner. This dish is best with fresh vegetables, but I were pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out with frozen okra and corn. Serve with cheese grits and a green salad.
Total Time: 30 minutes Makes 4 servings
2 cups fresh or frozen sliced okra
1-3/4 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears; see Tip), or frozen
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1-3/4 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning, divided
1 pound catfish fillets, patted dry and cut into 4 portions
1 . Preheat oven to 450°F.
2 . Combine okra, corn, onion, 2 teaspoons oil and 3/4 teaspoon Cajun (or Creole) seasoning in a large bowl. Spread the mixture out on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring twice, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
3 . Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of catfish with the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun (or Creole) seasoning. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add the fish and cook until just cooked through and starting to brown, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with the roasted vegetable
This sounds like a wonderful dish to use those favorite summer veggies - okra and corn! Have a great Monday!

Thank you for sharing..Have a blessed week...
