BAKED CATFISH FILLETS



Baked Catfish Fillets image

These are sooo yummy! They taste almost like fried catfish because of the cornmeal, and come out nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The ranch dressing adds a real zing, too!

Provided by Christina P.

Categories     Catfish

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 catfish fillets
2 tablespoons light ranch salad dressing
1 eggs or 2 egg whites
6 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon red pepper seasoning
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon parsley

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!

PECAN CRUSTED DIJON BAKED CATFISH



Pecan Crusted Dijon Baked Catfish image

Simple, delicious alternative to frying catfish southern style. I was dubious about the mixture of pecans and Dijon, but it worked and produced a slightly tangy, crusty finish to the fish. If you've never tried catfish, it is a real treat. The least "fishy" fish I've ever had. My fillets were huge, so I made 1 1/2 times the topping mixture. From Southern Church Suppers

SPICY OVEN-BAKED CATFISH



Spicy Oven-Baked Catfish image

The egg whites keep the moisture in the fish, I strongly suggest to serve this with creamy lemon sauce (recipe below) it is what makes this extra special and the sauce takes only minutes to make, it can be made up to 1 day ahead if desired, using low-fat sour cream for the sauce will reduce the some of the fat content, using fat-free sour cream it will make it almost totally fat-free, although I have never used fat-free sour cream I cannot say it will be okay, you can of coarse use full-fat sour cream if you wish! Adjust the cayenne pepper to taste.

CAJUN BAKED CATFISH DIJON



Cajun Baked Catfish Dijon image

Simple tasty baked fish recipe with that Cajun kick. Good for any flaky white fish fillets but catfish is the classic. Be careful how you mix the Dijon and the hot sauce, one overpowers the other or the two overpower the fish. I like to sprinkle some strong paprika (i.e. cayenne) at presentation for effect. Garnish with lemon wedges.

BAKED SOUTHERN CATFISH WITH A TWIST



Baked Southern Catfish with a Twist image

First of all I LOVE fried catfish. I remember hot Summer eves alongside the Mississippi river, having all-you-can-eat fried catfish, drinking ice tea out of old mason jars, and watching the riverboats move slowly up and down the mighty Mississippi. I don't know if those family restaurants still exist, but I hope they do...

Provided by Andy Anderson !

Categories     Fish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb catfish fillets, four pieces
2 c panko break crumbs, this is the twist
1/2 c finely ground cornmeal
1/2 c flour, all purpose
2 tsp creole seasoning, your choice
2 medium eggs
1/4 c buttermilk
1 tsp hot sauce, or more if you like it spicier, i like franks
1 tsp dijon mustard, i like grey poupon

Steps:

  • 1. Take a baking sheet, and line it with parchment paper.
  • 2. Place a metal cooling rack on top of the parchment paper.
  • 3. Chef's Note: The cooling rack will raise the catfish off the bottom of the baking sheet, and help them to crisp evenly.
  • 4. In a large bowl combine the ground cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and the creole seasoning.
  • 5. Chef's Note: I like to make my own creole seasoning, so that I can control the ingredients. This is what I use, when I make up a batch: 2 tablespoons onion powder 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2 tablespoons dried oregano 2 tablespoons dried basil 1 tablespoon dried thyme 1/2 tablespoon black pepper 1/2 tablespoon white pepper 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper 4 tablespoons paprika 1 tablespoon salt
  • 6. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, dijon mustard, and the hot sauce.
  • 7. Place the breadcrumbs into another bowl.
  • 8. Take one of the pieces of catfish, and dredge it in the cornmeal/flour mixture. Making sure that the fillet is completely and evenly covered.
  • 9. Drop it into the buttermilk/egg mixture, and allow the flour to absorb the liquid, about 15 seconds per side.
  • 10. Chef's Tip: To keep my hands as dry as possible, I place the catfish in the liquid using a pair of tongs.
  • 11. Place the fillet into the breadcrumbs, and throughly cover. Use your hands to scoop up the breadcrumbs and press them into the fish.
  • 12. Place the finished catfish on the rack inside the baking sheet, and repeat for the other fillets.
  • 13. Allow the fillets to rest for about 15 minutes.
  • 14. Chef's Note: This resting period will help the coating stick to the fish, during the baking process.
  • 15. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat your oven to 425f (220c).
  • 16. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the coating begins to nicely brown.
  • 17. Chef's Note: Panko breadcrumbs are not a part of traditional southern fried catfish; however, their addition adds another level of flavor to the fish, and helps to keep the fillets moist during their time in the oven. This is why I call the recipe Baked Southern Catfish with a Twist.
  • 18. Serving Tip: If you like you can serve these fillets with a nice bowl of dirty rice, or just a big bowl of homemade hushpuppies... YUM.
  • 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
