How to Make Baked Catfish Fillets With Horseradish Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Arrange catfish fillets (about 1 pound) in a single layer on the prepared baking pan.
  4. Drizzle fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  5. In a small bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold in 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/8 teaspoon white pepper.
  7. Spoon the egg white mixture evenly over each catfish fillet.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. While the fish bakes, prepare the horseradish sauce:
  10. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  11. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  12. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk until smooth.
  13. Stir in 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon white pepper.
  14. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  15. Serve the baked catfish fillets immediately, topped with the creamy horseradish sauce.
