- In a second shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Dip each catfish fillet (about 1 lb total) in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Dredge the fish in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded catfish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
- Drizzle any remaining egg mixture over the fish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
