Ingredients

  • Two pounds of fresh catfish fillets
  • A sprinkle of seasoned salt blend like Season-AllĀ®
  • The zesty juice from one ripe orange
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice for a tangy twist
  • A generous half cup of flavorful Dijon mustard
  • A hint of umami with reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • A touch of depth with Worcestershire sauce
  • A kick of heat from a couple of dashes of hot sauce
  • Two tablespoons of fragrant olive oil
  • Slices of vibrant green bell pepper for color
  • Thinly sliced onion for added sweetness
  • Chopped garlic cloves for a burst of flavor

Step 1

Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for that perfect cooking temperature. Start off by giving your catfish fillets a flavorful seasoning with some seasoned salt.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whip up a zesty concoction by combining orange juice, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of hot sauce for a burst of flavor.

Step 3

Get your large oven-safe skillet nice and hot with some olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear your catfish in the sizzling oil until they get a lovely light brown color, flipping them after 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

Step 4

Next, generously slather both sides of each fillet with the mouthwatering mustard sauce and then pour the remaining sauce over the fish. For an added touch, arrange some colorful bell peppers, onions, and garlic on top of the fish to enhance the flavors even more.

Step 5

Pop the skillet into your preheated oven and let it bake away for about 15 to 20 minutes until the fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork. This step ensures a perfectly cooked dish that will surely impress your taste buds.
