Cajun Baked Catfish

2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons paprika (I had chili powder, so I used that and it was great!)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (I omitted this.)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 (8 ounce) fillets catfish

(I always threw in a little Tony's and Jane's Krazy Salt!)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; brush over both sides of fish.

Place fish in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10-13 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Your kitchen will smell so good while it's cooking!

I served it with sweet potato fries, corn, and spinach salad. (Don't you love my expensive china?! We are real fancy around here!)
