Simple Cajun Catfish Recipe
This is an easy recipe to make. You can cook the catfish, by baking it, which is how I make it, or you can fry the fish. If you drizzle oil in your baking dish and on the fish, you won’t miss the fact that it is not fried. But if your preference is to fry, I am giving you those directions also.
You can spice this recipe by adding more pepper, or keep it on the milder side. Its your call!
