Ingredients
30 MINUTE, QUICK PREP
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, onion powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
- Toss the catfish fillets in the spice rub until coated on all sides, then place them on one end of a sheet pan, evenly spaced.
- In the same large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt to taste. Add the sweet potatoes to the other end of the sheet pan in an even layer.

- Serve side by side.
Notes
DOUBLE IT UP: I like to double up the rub portion of the recipe and save the extra for later. It’s great on steaks and chicken, and makes a good dry rub for grilling. The spice rub will last up to 3 months if stored in a dry, dark place such as your kitchen cupboard.
