How to Make Almond Crusted Catfish
- Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup slivered almonds, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a shallow dish, pour 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Brush both sides of 4 (6-ounce) catfish fillets with olive oil.
- Dredge each fillet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
