How to Make Quick Simple Cajun Fish

  1. Season fish fillets generously with 1 tbsp seafood or Cajun seasoning on both sides. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup and 1/2 cup water. Stir in 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil.
  7. Carefully place the fish fillets into the tomato soup mixture. Reduce heat to low.
  8. Cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  9. If using, stir in 1/2 cup sliced sweet onion and a dash of hot sauce during the last minute of cooking.
  10. Serve immediately over rice or with crusty bread. Enjoy!
