How to Make Baked Cajun Fish

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
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.
Place 2 pounds of fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or catfish) into two greased 11x14 inch baking pans.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of lemon juice evenly over the fish in each pan.
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning mixture evenly over the fish fillets in both pans.
Melt 1/2 cup of margarine and drizzle it evenly over the seasoned fish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
