2. Bake Catfish: Place the catfish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Season them with black pepper to taste. Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is cooked through, typically around 30 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

3. Prepare Sauce: While the catfish is baking, it’s time to prepare the sauce. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet. Add minced garlic to the sausage and continue cooking until the garlic becomes fragrant and starts to turn golden brown.

4. Add Spaghetti Sauce: Pour spaghetti sauce into the skillet with the sausage and garlic mixture. Stir well to combine. Allow the sauce to warm through over low heat, ensuring it’s ready when the catfish is done baking.

5. Assemble Dish: Once the catfish fillets are cooked to perfection, it’s time to assemble the dish. Place a bed of cooked rice on serving plates or a large platter. Carefully transfer the baked catfish fillets onto the rice bed. Spoon the prepared sausage and spaghetti sauce over the fillets, ensuring they are generously coated.

6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded asiago cheese over the sauced catfish fillets. The heat from the fish and sauce will help melt the cheese, creating a deliciously gooey topping.

7. Serve: Your Baked Catfish Doylene is now ready to be served! Serve it immediately while it’s still hot, allowing everyone to enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
