Here fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy. One of my favorites is catfish. For this, I simply baked it. Sometimes the simpler the dish, the better it tastes. No need to complicate the flavors. I've been enjoying the Emeril's Original seasoning quite a bit since I received them a couple months ago. I just seasoned the catfish on there good. Gave the fishy fillet a little massage and a little bit of rest that way the meat can absorb the spices. You can use any seasonings you prefer.
I baked it for a good 10-15 minutes. The end result is a tender flaky fish that's flavorful and juicy. I paired it with simple tomato salsa that I mixed it with some chopped sweet onion, chopped parsley and lime juice.
Served it with a little dome-shaped ball of rice that I drizzled some of the tasty fish juices on top and extra salsa on the side.
Serves 2-3
Baked Catfish with Tomato Salsa
2 catfish fillet
Emeril's Original Seasoning
(or your choice of seasonings)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Tomato Salsa (recipe below)
Preheat your oven 375˚F
Pat the fillets dry. Lightly coat each fillet with some extra virgin olive oil. Then coat with the seasoning (or your own blend/choice of seasoning) Be sure to rub it into the flesh of the fish and let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes.
Place the fillets on a foil-lined baking pan and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Depending on thickness.
When cooked let it sit for 2 minutes to let the juices redistribute within the fillets.
Serve warm and drizzle some of the fish juices that may have collected on the baking pan.
Top with some salsa.
Tomato Salsa
2 small to medium ripe tomato - diced
1/4 c Parsley - chopped
1/2 small sweet onion - diced
Juice of half lime
salt and pepper to season
Combine all ingredients together. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

I agree, simple is better sometimes. This is one of those times. This looks Terrrific!
I always love your simple and tasty sounding fish dishes. This sounds awesome :D
Love simple dinners like this. The ingredients speak for themselves.
Simple, but beautifully done :)
I love fish topped with fresh salsa. Your pictures are always soooo amazing; I could look at them all day...
I've only ever had catfish blackened and I was not a fan. I should give it a try using your recipe - it looks yummy!
Great pictures! Catfish is one of the few kinds of fish I've always enjoyed, but I haven't seen it around the past few years when I've been adventurous.
Well done! Catfish is very plentiful throughout the South. Lots of catfish "farms" down this way. Love the addition of the tomato salsa. Yum.
I have been craving fish. This is such a nice looking dish!
I found a salad you would like. It's a Caesar salad with catfish "croutons". The croutons are really just crispy pieces of catfish. I thought it sounded terrific!
Catfish is one of my favorites! I usually always have it fried but your version sounds and looks terrific! I would love some right now!
I love the simplicity of this meal. It looks and sounds delicious.
Yummy! Fish is my favorite - add salsa and it makes it even better!!
A very nice easy dish, great with tomato salsa!
I'm a fan of catfish too, and I used to a similar baked version. Thanks for the reminder. The tomato salsa looks great with it.
I do not eat fish but every time you make a fish dish you make me wish I loved it! :)
Mmm, simple, easy, dead tasty.
this is more gorgeous then many fish dishes i have ordered from restaurants! great job!
If I'm the quinoa queen, you are the seafood senorita! Your posts always make me crave fish, and you make the preparation seem so simple.
I love simple dishes!
Catfish always seems to freak me out, but after reading this recipe, I may actually have to give it a try. Very simple but it looks great. Yum!
I look forward to trying this!
Simple is best. I am loving this recipe.
Salsa truly is the best topping. Can't wait to try it with catfish!
Simple and beautiful... Looks great!
This is how I love to eat fish minus rice. It must be simple and accompanied with a tomato salsa with onion. We don't have rice with fish, just because traditionally, we aren't used to. We always serve rice with meat though. I must give it a try with fish, too. It looks so tasty with your presentation!
I've never used catfish before. meow meow. btw, I've been enjoying all your fish recipes.
You just gave me a really bad craving for fish! I haven't had any in months. Shame on me! This looks great with the tomato salsa!
