Yes…still on this stupid diet which actually isn’t so stupid anymore since it’s actually working. I suppose it’s just stupid because I hate being the kind of person who has to say things like “instead of the potatoes, do you think you could bring me steamed veggies?” …GOD I HATE BEING LIKE THIS. I really do. Please believe me or I will strangle you. Even though I would probably strangle you either way since my body is lacking carbs which makes me terribly irritable.
I’ve found myself at home more, since I don’t go out for elaborate meals with friends and drink margaritas that cause me to have “second dinner” at 1am at some fluorescently-lit corner pizza joint. So when I find a recipe like this, that makes me forget those nights existed, I share : )
Found it from googling “baked catfish”. I’m a genius like that.
Here are my photos, then the recipe is below. REALLY ridiculously simple and completely satisfying.

..served with sesame-oil veggies and those chipotle shrimps I’m obsessed with…
Baked Cajun Catfish, recipe from allrecipes.com:

I made ur beef Kalbi and it turned out delish!!:)
I will definitely try this one 2!! Thanks for sharing! Staying away from carbs is truly a challange.. Any tips how to pimp the veggies? I always end up w boooring steamed broccoli and bellpeppers
I also need tips on how to pimp the veggies!!
Use a combo of equal parts lemon and soy ( or more lemon if you want lower sodium). Sounds obvious but it’s simple and delish.
Thanks a bunch! The hubby loves catfish and I usually fry it, but it’s so freaking hot here that just thinking about the fryer makes me sweat. Can’t wait to try this!
I don’t eat fish, but these pictures you posted actually make it look so delicious. I’m actually thinking of trying it.
I always find the most delicious recipes on allrecipes.com. Such a great site. ( not as good as your blog though
you have me drooling over here with your blog recipes)
Anyway, keep up the good work! I look forward to reading your posts.
Trying this tonight with tilapia, because I’m a lazy a-hole. Regardless, still pretty psyched.
Have you posted the chipotle shrimp recipe? It looks foodgasmic!
This looks delicious! Your showing how to make tasty meals that are carb free! Thanks for making it fun
Not an easy feat! Have you any nice recipes for carb free breakfasts???
I’m interested in trying your low carb diet. I noticed you’re only eating fish and steamed veggies. No potatoes, steaks, bread, pasta, and sweets? or the “All White Diet” which is no sugar, no white flour, no white bread, and potatoes?
Yum. Thanks for sharing. I am always stumped at new ways to prepare fish.
wait…..but potatoes are vegetables??? ……………:/…………………..
anyways this looks really good i must try annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd
) 
share your shrimp recipe as well
I’m so on this low carb diet hype too! Thanks for posting…I’ll try it on the george foreman grill!
I tried this with fresh halibut tonight! Love!! I took a pic for you! Its on twitter! Thanks!
I’m definitely trying this on salmon since I hate anything with the word ‘Cat’ attached to it.
Tried this and Loved it! Thank you for sharing!
No joke, chop some garlic cloves and put it on top of the fish before baking. I use the exact same recipe (but double the spice) and added this little pizzazz and it rocked my world. If you hate garlic, then substitute with anything you like such as onions, reality television, or pages from GP’s recipe book.
Chrissy-
1. Let me just say that I love your twitter snark and your food blog. I also love you and John Legend. I used to tell my boyfriend that I want to be like Beyonce and JayZ. Now I tell him I want to be like you guys.
2. Cajun catfish is one of my favorite things. Best side ever with it? Cut up a sweet potato into fries, toss in olive oil and cajun seasoning, bake for 25 minutes (rotating once). I have a really hard time giving up fries because I get intense salt cravings. Sweet potato fries actually have more flavor than regular fries and literally soak up fat from your body. Enjoy!
Love it! Give me seafood anytime. Will def do this one! Yumyum!! Thanks Chrissy!
Damn that looks good!
If u were to throw this on the grill, any suggestions? Put it in tin foil, time, etc…
Did you remember to take the picture after partially devouring that fillet? If so that makes me love you more.
This is going down at my place tonight!
can you use anything else to sub in for olive oil that has no fat or sugar in it?
very nice , its look like grill fish.
