Why This Dish Is So Satisfying

This dish offers a perfect balance of tangy and savory flavors thanks to the Dijon mustard. The mustard helps keep the fish moist while adding a subtle kick, making each bite deliciously tender and flavorful.

Kitchen Tricks

- Use fresh catfish fillets for the best texture and taste.
- Apply the mustard evenly to ensure consistent flavor throughout.
- Bake the fish until it flakes easily with a fork to avoid overcooking.

Step 1

Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). Sprinkle some seasoned salt over the catfish fillets to give them a good flavor. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a bit of hot sauce.

Step 2

Heat a little olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the catfish for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they get a nice light brown color.

Step 3

After that, spread the mustard sauce on both sides of each fillet, and pour any extra sauce over the top. Then, scatter the sliced bell pepper, onion, and garlic evenly over the fish.

Step 4

Pop the skillet into the oven and bake everything for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Enjoy!

Great Ways To Serve

Pair this dish with a light side like steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad. A serving of roasted potatoes or rice also complements the rich flavors well. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon makes a refreshing drink choice.

How To Preserve This Dish

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the fish moist and prevent it from drying out. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.
