Cajun Catfish

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350*.
2. 2
   Spray one or two casserole dishes or baking sheets with cooking spray or butter the dish with some butter.
3. 3
   Place catfish in casserole dishes (or on baking sheets).
4. 4
   Sprinkle top side of catfish first with salt, then garlic powder, then cayenne, chili powder and black pepper so that you get them a nice red color.
5. 5
   I put the ingredients on in the order listed so I can see how much of each I am putting on.
6. 6
   I go lightly on the cayenne powder and salt and heavier on the chili powder so that the seasonings are very visible.
7. 7
   Adjust the seasonings to your personal taste.
8. 8
   Turn fish over and season the other side the same way as above.
9. 9
   Bake for 20-25 minutes until fish flakes with a fork and it cooked thoroughly.
10. 10
    Do not overbake because fish will become dry.
11. 11
    Serve.
