How to Make Baked Cajun Fish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Place 2 pounds of fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or catfish) into two greased 11x14 inch baking pans.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of lemon juice evenly over the fish in each pan.
  5. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning mixture evenly over the fish fillets in both pans.
  6. Melt 1/2 cup of margarine and drizzle it evenly over the seasoned fish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
