There are lots of oven baked cajun catfish recipes out there for fillets, so I’ve decided to create one specifically for catfish steaks. Is there a difference? Yes, the prep and cooking time. You want to sit them out for at least 15 minutes so that they’re close to room temperature. This will help allow even cooking – which is approximately 45 minutes, depending on the thickness. Catfish steaks have a lot of bones, but there’s a lot of flavor there too.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs catfish steaks
- 2 tbsp Tony Crachere's Creole Seasoning

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Take catfish out of refrigerator and allow approximately 15 minutes to come to room temperature to allow for even cooking. Rinse and pat catfish dry.

- In a separate small bowl, mix all seasonings well.
- Sprinkle and rub seasonings into the catfish.
- Line a cookie sheet or baking dish with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat.
