Provided by Sharon T

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (6-ounce) Farmed Channel Catfish
1 cup broccoli florets
1 serving herb-butter blend or flavored olive oil
aluminum foil
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the catfish on a 12-inch square piece of foil. Sprinkle fish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Arrange broccoli florets around fish. Fold up the sides of the foil and crimp tightly to form a sealed packet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until fish is flaky and broccoli is tender. Transfer to a dish, open foil, and top with a tablespoon of herb-butter blend or flavored olive oil.

Tips:

- For a crispy coating, ensure the catfish fillets are dry before dredging them in the herb mixture. - Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If using dried herbs, reduce the amount by half. - Don't overcrowd the baking pan. If necessary, bake the catfish in batches. - Bake the catfish until it flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking will make it dry and tough. - Serve the catfish immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
