Parmesan Catfish Filets

Submitted by Sherrybeth

"Being a southerner with a bunch of fishermen in my family, we usually have an abundance of catfish in the freezer. I decided if tilapia could be parmesan encrusted, so could catfish. My mom and I prefer these over fried catfish."

Keeper! I added fresh basil on top before I baked and then topped with a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese! My husband doesn't normally like catfish and he loved it!

What a great catfish recipe! I, too, used Old Bay Seasoning instead of creole seasoning as I am a wimp with hot stuff. This was easy to fix and we enjoyed it with roasted potatoes and cole slaw.<br/>I will spray the pan first next time as I had trouble removing the fish from the baking pan. Thanks,<br/>Carole in Orlando

I used Old Bay instead of creole, and it turned out delicious! My picky preschooler even loved it!

I didn't use the paprika as I have an allergy. However, it turned out wonderful. Should have made a double batch. Also used halibut not catfish available here. Still the white fish was wonderful. Put it under the broiler about 7 minutes to put the crunch on the top at the end of the cooking cycle. Thanks again.
