How to Make Sesame Seed Catfish Fillets
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup sesame seeds, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Dip each catfish fillet into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Dip the floured fillet into a beaten egg (1 large egg).
- Gently press the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Carefully add the breaded catfish fillets to the hot skillet, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
- Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Transfer the fillets to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
- While the fish is baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a small saucepan until it's almost smoking.
- Transfer the baked catfish fillets to heated plates. Drizzle the hot sesame oil over the fillets and serve immediately with rice and your favorite Asian-inspired vegetable stir-fry.
