Ingredients
- 4 pieces Catfish fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, fresh dill (chopped), lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined to create a mustard-dill marinade.
Step 3
Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then evenly coat each fillet with the mustard marinade on both sides.
Step 4
Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Step 5
Drizzle the fillets with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 6
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and opaque in the thickest part.
Step 7
Optionally, broil the fillets for an additional 2–3 minutes on high for a beautiful golden finish.
Step 8
Serve the mustard dill catfish hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
