BAKING CATFISH FILLETS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Whisk wet ingredients together in a bowl and combine dry ingredients on a piece of wax paper.
• Spray a glass baking dish with Pam or olive oil.
• Rinse catfish in cool water and DRY THOROUGHLY with paper towels.
• Dip each catfish fillet in wet ingredients and dredge in breading to coat. Just a nice, light covering is enough. Don't try to completely cover in breading.
• Place catfish fillets in glass baking dish & refrigerate for 10 minutes. This step, plus making sure the fillets are very dry before dipping in the egg will help the breading stick to the fish and NOT the pan!
• Bake at 425 for 10 to 12 minutes per side.
• Serve with lemon wedges for garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
   
• Place catfish fillets on baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with onion powder. Top each fillet with 2 pieces of Swiss cheese and sliced mushrooms. 
• In a medium bowl, mix together the soup, wine or broth, pimientos, and parsley; pour over fish. Sprinkle stuffing mix over the top and lightly sprinkle with sage. Drizzle butter over the stuffing. 
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until fish is cooked through in center and flakes easily with a fork.
  
  Test Kitchen Tip:
  We love fried catfish, but this holiday, shake things up a bit by trying your catfish topped with chunked crab meat and hollandaise sauce, to make it Oscar style. Or include it as part of the feast of the seven fishes on Christmas Eve.
