1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
1 pound green beans, trimmed
Olive oil
Butter
Recipe Directions
Cook rice according to package instructions, using chicken broth for added flavor.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season catfish fillets with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning, then dredge in flour and cornmeal mixture.
Add catfish fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add diced onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are soft and translucent.
Add cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and additional Cajun seasoning, if desired.
Prepare the cheddar bay biscuits according to package instructions.
In a separate skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add green beans and sauté until tender-crisp.
Serve the pan-seared catfish alongside the dirty rice, cheddar bay biscuits, and green beans. Enjoy!

Notes
For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the dirty rice.
You can substitute the catfish fillets with any other white fish, such as tilapia or cod.
If you’re short on time, you can use pre-made dirty rice mix instead of cooking it from scratch.
FAQ
Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time? A: While the catfish is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the dirty rice and green beans ahead of time and reheat them when ready to serve.

Q: How should I store any leftovers? A: Store any leftover catfish, dirty rice, and green beans in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.

Food and Drink Pairings
