Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper before breading. Broil the baked filets a few minutes before serving to achieve a better crust.

Absolutely love this recipe. I skip butter and drizzle fish fillets with avocado oil instead. Makes for perfect and easy fish sandwiches: toasted sourdough, mayo, avocado, tomato and fish. Fast and tasty dinner!

I made this recipe and used your variation and it was excellent!

So good. Farmraised Catfish is a sweet, meaty freshwater fish. Be sure you buy American raised, like Simmons Farms. So much better than tilapia, which I would never eat.

Smoked paprika was a nice touch too!
