2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound catfish fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon-Chili Catfish

Directions

1. Combine chili powder, garlic and salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Reserve and remaining spice mixture.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the fish and cook until just opaque in the center, turning after 3-4 minutes.
3. Plate the fish. Add lemon juice, reserved spices and asparagus to the pan until asparagus is warmed and coated.
