The flavors of the Louisiana bayou country come to life in McCormick Gourmet Collection Cajun Seasoning – a spicy-hot blend of peppers, onion, garlic and herbs.
Ingredients
- 1 pound catfish fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon McCormick Gourmet Collection Cajun Seasoning

- 1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon McCormick Gourmet Collection Parsley Flakes
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat shallow baking pan with cooking spray; place fish in pan.
- Mix oil, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice and thyme in medium bowl. Spoon or brush 1/2 the mixture over fish.
- Add pecans, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and parsley to remaining oil mixture; mix well.
- Coat fish on both sides in bread crumb mixture.
