I utilized freshly harvested spices from my garden along with fresh garlic to prepare this dish. I combined all the spices and microwaved them to melt the butter and soften the garlic. I also added sliced fresh lemons and jalapenos at the bottom of the pan greased with olive oil before placing the catfish on top. The outcome was a dish bursting with wonderful flavors.

I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. Instead of the listed ingredients, I opted for The Spice Hunter- Seafood Seasoning, which added a fantastic flavor. I also used a small amount of butter with a hint of lemon juice. The fillets turned out perfectly cooked after 20 minutes in the oven. I served this with corn grits mixed with yellow bell pepper as a side dish. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I will definitely be making this recipe again. The only alteration I made was using garlic salt instead of garlic powder, and I lightly drizzled the fish with olive oil before baking because the herb mix seemed a bit dry. The dish had a fantastic flavor, and I'm excited to try it with Tilapia next time!

I didn't enjoy this dish at all. My husband thought it was okay, but I had a hard time eating it. There were too many spices, and I even used more fish than the recipe called for. The paprika didn't taste right in it. I'm not sure if we'll finish the leftovers.
