To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. First, whisk marinade ingredients together. Place catfish fillets in a Ziploc bag. Add marinade to the bag, close tightly and shake to completely cover catfish in the marinade.

Next, line a large baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Chop vegetables to a uniform size. Leave the apple unpeeled, remove the core and slice into 3/4 inch chunks.

Bake for 20 minutes and then remove the sheet from the oven. Using a spatula, rotate the vegetable mix around to get an even roast. Then, create space in the middle of the pan among the vegetables for the catfish and lay the fillets directly onto the sheet.
