Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs or Panko bread crumbs
  • 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (use dried if you don't have fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp each pepper, dried oregano and basil
  • 6 fresh or frozen catfish fillets
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • tarter sauce and lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley and seasonings. Dip catfish in butter, then in crumb mixture. Arrange on a sheet pan.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 375° until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 20-25 minutes. In the last minute or so, turn your broiler on and while watching closely, crisp up or add a little more browning to the fish. I think this helps to solve the lack of crispiness you have because you are not frying the fish in hot oil.
  • If desired, serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
