2tbspchopped fresh parsley (use dried if you don't have fresh)
1/2tspsalt
1/4tsppaprika
1/8tspeach pepper, dried oregano and basil
6fresh or frozen catfish fillets
1/2cup (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.
