BAKED WHOLE CATFISH RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Position oven rack on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray several times to coat.
• 3. In a shallow dish, combine cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder and white pepper. In another dish, whisk together lemon juice and olive oil.
• 4. Roll nuggets in lemon juice. Then, roll in cheese mixture. Dust with paprika and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place catfish on prepared baking sheet.
• 5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees, and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, until crust is golden and fish flakes easily. Serve with Homemade Tartar Sauce.
• 6. To make tartar sauce, combine tartar sauce ingredients and blend well.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add celery, green onion and garlic, and cook and stir for a few minutes until soft. Remove from heat, and stir in the crabmeat, bread cubes, egg, Romano cheese, lemon juice, and tomato. Season with salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and mix until well blended.
• Lay the haddock fillets in the prepared baking dish. Brush each one with melted butter. Place a heaping tablespoon of the crab mixture onto half of each fillet, and fold the other half over to cover. Secure with toothpicks if desired. Sprinkle on any remaining stuffing, and drizzle with any leftover melted butter. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil. (The dish may be also made ahead of time and refrigerated at this point.)
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove the cover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the top has browned and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
