How to Make Oven Baked Almond Crusted Catfish Fillets
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Position oven rack slightly above the middle.
- Cut catfish fillets into serving-size pieces (approximately 4-6 ounces each).
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 1 large egg.
- Add 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon minced onion, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the milk and egg mixture.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup sliced almonds.
- Dip each fish piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the breadcrumb and almond mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
- Arrange the coated catfish fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle evenly over the fillets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook.
