Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Place 4 catfish fillets (about 6 oz each) on the sheet pan and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, rubbing evenly to coat.
  2. Step 2: Sprinkle 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning evenly over the catfish fillets, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, toss 1 cup fresh corn kernels, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 sliced yellow bell pepper with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp garlic powder until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Spread the seasoned vegetables around the catfish fillets on the sheet pan in a single layer.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, until the catfish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Serve the catfish and vegetables hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
