Crispy Baked Catfish
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds catfish fillets
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • cooking spray
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 220 degrees Celsius. To make the baking process more efficient, cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and then lightly spray it with cooking spray.
2
Next, combine the cornmeal, paprika, thyme, salt, celery seed, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Mix all the ingredients together until they form a uniform blend.
3
After that, dip each catfish fillet into the milk. Then, coat the fillets generously with the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.

Finally, place the coated catfish fillets on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to keep them moist. Bake in the preheated oven until the fillets can be easily flaked with a fork, which should take around 15 minutes.
