- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced bell pepper, onion, parsley, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Lay the catfish fillets on a cutting board, skin side down. Spoon the filling onto the center of each fillet, then roll them up tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Drizzle olive oil in a baking dish and place the stuffed catfish rolls seam side down.
- Sprinkle the lemon juice over the stuffed catfish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the catfish from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the toothpicks and serve the stuffed catfish on a platter.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding some shredded cheese to the stuffing!
