Crunchy Baked Catfish With Cornbread Stuffing

---

I found this on www.raleys.com but rewrote the directions as they were a bit confusing. Cod and tilapia might work well too. My dh was very happy and floating in seafood heaven ;) ! If you don't like spicy dishes, try italian seasoning instead of cajun and omit the fresh thyme.

Coating: stir together 1 cup stuffing mix and 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning in a small bowl , crushing any larger pieces with your fingers.
