How to Make Baked Garlic Catfish
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a shallow dish.
- Dredge catfish filets in the melted butter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup of breadcrumbs with 2 cloves of minced garlic.
- Dredge the buttered catfish filets in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Sprinkle generously with seasoning salt (about 1 teaspoon).
- Lightly grease a small casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Arrange the prepared catfish filets in the dish.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the catfish is golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately with your favorite rice and vegetables.
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.
