I can't remember where I got this recipe but I've been making it for several years now. This is real easy to make. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon instant minced onion |
2 lbs catfish fillets |
1 egg |
1/2 cup milk |
1 teaspoon cajun spices |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 cup dry breadcrumbs (unseasoned) |
Directions:
1. Set oven rack slightly above the middle of the oven and preheat to 500.
2. Cut the catfish fillets into serving size pieces.
3. Place the milk in a bowl and whisk the egg into it.
4. Add the Cajun spice, minced onion and black pepper to the milk/egg mixture.
5. In a separate flat dish, mix the bread crumbs and the sliced almonds. Dip the fish pieces into the seasoned egg wash, then coat them with bread crumb/almond mixture.
6. Place the coated catfish fillets on a well greased (olive oil or similar oil) flat baking pan.
7. Pour the melted butter evenly over the fillets.
8. Place the baking pan on rack and bake for 10-12 min or until fish flakes easily. It is better not to over-cook fish.
