Roasted Catfish with Cumin Sweet Potatoes
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4″ thickÂ
1/2 teaspoon ground cuminÂ
1 tablespoon canola oilÂ
4 catfish fillets (5 ounces each)Â
1 teaspoon chili powderÂ
1/2 cup diagonally sliced scallionsÂ
1 bag (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels, thawedÂ
1 medium green bell pepper, choppedÂ
2 tablespoons fresh lime juiceÂ
1 tablespoon chopped cilantroÂ
1 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeno chile pepper, or more to tasteÂ
Â
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. In a 13″ x 9″ baking dish, combine the potatoes, cumin, and oil. Toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are browned. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Increase the temperature to 450ºF. Use a wide spatula to gently turn the potato slices. Arrange the fish on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with chili powder and scallions. Return the fish and potatoes to the oven. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes easily. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the corn, bell pepper, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper. With a wide spatula, lift a portion of potatoes and fish onto serving plates. Spoon the corn salad on top.
