Crunchy Baked Catfish With Cornbread Stuffing image

I found this on www.raleys.com but rewrote the directions as they were a bit confusing. Cod and tilapia might work well too. My DH was very happy and floating in seafood heaven ;) ! If you don't like spicy dishes, try Italian Seasoning instead of Cajun and omit the fresh thyme.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (6 ounce) package cornbread stuffing mix (shake well and divide)
4 teaspoons cajun seasoning (divided) or 4 teaspoons blackening seasoning (divided)
2 lbs catfish fillets (about 2 large or 4 small fillets)
3 tablespoons butter, melted (divided)
1 cup hot water
fresh thyme, Chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • COATING: Stir together 1 cup stuffing mix and 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning in a small bowl, crushing any larger pieces with your fingers (this might be less messy if done in a zip-loc baggie).
  • FISH: Rinse fish and pat dry; brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter and roll in coating.
  • Place in a shallow dish and sprinkle with any remaining coating.
  • Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, approximately 20 minutes.
  • TOPPING: While fish is baking, stir together remaining stuffing mix, Cajun seasoning, 2 tablespoons butter and water in a small bowl; cover and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.
  • When fish is cooked, cover with topping & a sprinkle of thyme and serve.
