How to Make Baked Garlic Catfish

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a shallow dish.
  3. Dredge catfish filets in the melted butter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup of breadcrumbs with 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  5. Dredge the buttered catfish filets in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Sprinkle generously with seasoning salt (about 1 teaspoon).
  7. Lightly grease a small casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Arrange the prepared catfish filets in the dish.
  8. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes.
  10. 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.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite rice and vegetables.
