Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2: Place 4 catfish fillets and 2 ears of sweet corn halved lengthwise on a large sheet pan. Brush the marinade evenly over the catfish and corn, coating all surfaces.
Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until the catfish flakes easily with a fork and the corn edges are beginning to char.
Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the fish and corn for a fresh finish. Serve immediately.
