    Easy Cajun Baked Catfish without Need for Butter

    By Alisa Fleming on September 9, 2022 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    Many years ago, we came across this simple, healthy recipe for Cajun baked catfish. It was a feature in Eating Well magazine, back when they had a print publication. Cajun style foods often look dairy free, but in restaurants, they’re usually made with butter. This particular recipe is not only butter-free, it’s essentially oil-free too (aside from greasing the dish).

    I must admit, they use a little bit of a light hand with the seasoning for this Cajun catfish, in my opinion. I prefer to just shake it on until the entire fillet is well coated. You can stick with their tasteful amount, or get aggressive with the flavor.

    No Seasoning? If you don’t have any Cajun seasoning on hand, don’t hesitate to make your own. This Cajun Spice Mix recipe uses everyday herbs and spices and takes just a few minutes to toss together. If you don’t have one or two of the spices, don’t fret, it will still be delicious.

    No Catfish? Catfish is a natural with Cajun seasoning. But if it isn’t in season or available at your local fish counter, just substitute another white fish. Tilapia, flounder, snapper, and cod are all great bases for Cajun dishes.
