Ingredients

  • 1 pound Mississippi Farm Raised Catfish fillets

 

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper 

 

Vegetables

  • 1 pound petite potatoes
  • 1 sweet potato (large)
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 cup baby carrots 
  • 4 slices bacon
  • Salt and pepper
a platter of seasonal vegetables in a pan with three large fish filets sitting on top

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Whisk marinade ingredients. Place catfish fillets and marinade in a zip top bag. Close tightly and shake to cover the fillets, then set aside. 

Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Chop vegetables to a uniform size. 

Spread vegetable mix onto the baking sheet evenly. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 

Chop bacon and disperse it evenly over the vegetables.

Bake vegetables and bacon at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven. Stir vegetable mix. Place the catfish fillets on top of the vegetables and drizzle with remaining marinade. 

Place the pan back in the oven for another 20-30 minutes, or until the catfish is completely cooked, and carrots and potatoes are tender.
