Baked Catfish with Lemon Aioli

A family favorite, this catfish recipe is simple and flavorful, but not fishy tasting.

Prep Time: 5 min.
Cooking Time: 15 min.
Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients

    1 tsp. dried thyme
    1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
    1 1/2 pounds catfish filets
    1/4 cup mayonnaise (light works OK too)
    1 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
    1 small garlic clove, minced
    1/8 tsp. salt
    1/8 tsp. black pepper
    Additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Cooking

Heat oven to 400F.

Mix thyme, cayenne, salt and pepper and rub onto fish, seasoning both sides.

Coat a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray (I prefer to use an olive oil spray). Bake fish until opaque and cooked through; about 15 min.

While fish is baking, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small mixing bowl to make aioli topping for fish.

Notes

Always best with some vegetable side dish.
