Catfish

Whole Foods had some fresh catfish on sale so I looked it up on my seafood app and saw that it is a relatively healthy fish and is low in contaminants; I ventured from my comfort zone and bought some. I laid the filets on top of a bed of lemons and then sprinkled the fish with a little pepper. I don't like to over season fish. Lemon and pepper is all I ever need on any kind of fish. I baked it at 400 for about 30 minutes, checking it often. They were pretty thick filets so I wanted to make sure they were done. 

Before I put the fish in the oven, bc I knew they would need the longest amount of time to cook, I cut up some red potatoes and an onion and sautéed them in a skillet with some olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. I let these cook on Medium/Low tossing them often so they didn't burn or stick to the pan. These probably cooked for 40 minutes or so. 

While the potatoes were on and the fish was baking, I threw together a batch of kale chips (click here to see previous post on kale chips). Lastly I warmed some frozen green beans (my kids love these). This was a basic no frills dinner but it came out pretty good. My kids ate more fish than I did and they devoured everything on their plates before proceeding to eat second and third helpings. Once in a while they will just eat and eat and eat all the healthy food on their plate without any coaxing or constant reminding on my part and nothing makes me happier!
