HOW TO MAKE BAKED CATFISH:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Small bowl with parsley, salt, paprika, thyme, oregano, basil and pepper needed for recipe
Combine the parsley, salt, paprika, thyme, oregano, basil and pepper in a small bowl.
Catfish fillets on a foil-lined pan with herb and seasoning mixture sprinkled over top
Sprinkle the spice-herb mixture over both sides of the catfish fillets. Place the fillets in a 9×13 baking pan that has been coated with non-stick cooking spray. I also lined my pan with foil just because it makes it so much easier to clean.
Small bowl containing a mixture of melted butter, lemon juice and garlic powder
Add the melted butter, lemon juice, and garlic powder to a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
Seasoned catfish fillets on foil-lined pan drizzled with lemon-butter mixture
Drizzle the butter-lemon-garlic mixture over the fillets.
Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
Enjoy!
