How to Make Baked Breaded Yummy Catfish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.

  4. Dip each catfish fillet (about 1 lb total) in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the fish in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Place the breaded catfish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Drizzle any remaining egg mixture over the fish.
  8. Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumbs over the top.
  9. Lightly coat the fish with cooking spray.
  10. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately with baked sweet potato and sauteed spinach.
