How to Make Cajun Pecan Catfish
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Lightly coat a shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place catfish fillets in the prepared baking dish and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Mix well.
- Spoon or brush half of the Cajun mixture evenly over the catfish fillets.
- In a separate small bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup chopped pecans, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, and the remaining Cajun mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Evenly spread the breadcrumb mixture over the fish fillets, ensuring they are fully coated.
