How to Make Baked Catfish
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Pat 1 pound of catfish fillets completely dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
- In a separate shallow bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter.
- Dip each catfish fillet in the melted butter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Dredge the buttered fillets in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Arrange the breaded catfish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
