Easy Low-Fat Oven Fried Catfish

“This recipe was wonderful, although I had to use white corn meal because I bought that by mistake.But it was still really good.And quick and easy to make.My husband loved it as well.”

“THIS WAS FABULOUS!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this fish, and I do plan to make it again in the near future.The flavor is so good, and I cant believe that my family enjoyed it more than fried fish!!! I used Pro Bass (i think thats the name) seasoned fish coating, and creole seasoning :-)Thanks for this marvelous recipe!!!”

“Wonderful !!! This is a low- carb dieters delight…0.2g with 21.4g protein. It is simple to prepare, with ingredients I had on hand. I used Andys Fish breading ( family favorite ) and egg whites to dip the fish in. This is a keeper and I have already e-mailed the recipe to my cat-fish loving friends and family. Thanks for the great redipe Sue!!! “

“Delish!Used gluten-free breadcumbs and pre-heated the roasting pan. Forgot to grease it, but the part that didn’t stick to the foil came out tasty and crispy!;DThink we’ll try cornmeal next time.”

“I made this tonight, as written and it was great and no mess on the stove. i used the Emeril Lagasse’s Essence recipe mention by another poster.”

“The oven frying worked great! The fish cooked up nice and crispy, and my boyfriend who said he doesn’t like catfish gobbled it up! This is more of a review for the method rather than the ingredients, since I didn’t have any “seasoned fish coating” or Emeril’s Essense, so I used cornmeal mixed with Penzey’s Cajun Seasoning to coat the fish. I also didn’t use any egg, since it looked like my fish was wet enough for the cornmeal to stick, but when I flipped the fish some of the breading came off, so maybe I should have used it after all. I don’t like deep-frying at home, so now I’m glad I don’t have to for nice breaded catfish.”

“The catfish was great.I didn’t have eggs so I sprinkled lemon juice and Tobasco sauce on the fish then spread it before coating the fish in Zatarain’s crispy southern fish fry.Sprayed it good with oil spray then let it sit for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven.It was great and crispy just be careful with the creole seasoning when using the Tobasco sauce unless you are a real Cajun and love it HOT, HOT, HOT.”

“This catfish was flavorful and the coating was crispy like classic fried fish but without the grease. The only issue was that the coating wanted to fall off when I flipped it halfway through.It still tasted great though and I will definitely make this again!”

“I used tilapia fillets instead of catfish. This was really good, but not as crispy as I would have liked.I will make again soon.”

“This recipe is phenomenal!! My mother in law was amazed at how wonderful it tasted. The lemon juice made the fish taste amazing, and I will be making this dish again for our dinner in a couple of nights. Thanks so much for the recipe…it’s delish!”

“I cooked this recipe last night and it was really fantastic, my 8 year old son LOVED it and was disappointed that I only cooked enough for each of us to have a portion. It was very easy and I will be making this again! Thanks for sharing!”

“I thought the double breading was a bit much. next time I will just dip in egg and then breading. Other than that we liked it a lot”

“I love DH but it saddens me he won’t eat fish unless I am willing to fry some up.Last night I tried this oven fried catfish and it was truly amazing.It had a crunchy coating and it was just so tasty.I just used a regular egg as that’s all I had on hand.I did 15min, flipped, and then 7 min on other side.Served it with green beans and potato wedges.DH had the leftover fish in a sandwhich for lunch today!!”

“Wow, this was a really great way to satisfy my urge for fish and keep the fat content low. I didn’t change a thing, used Essence. So easy! Will go on the rotation, this is a keeper.”

“Delicious and healthy! Cruised through almost all the catfish recipes before spying this one and trying it. Thanks for posting it! We will use it often.”

“Very good! I was using more fillets, so I didn’t really measure the fish coating or egg substitute–just eyeballed what I thought I would need. I did spray the tops of the fillets with olive oil before turning them over partway through baking. Thanks for posting!”

“YUMO!!! We have just recently changed our eating habits,(DH has diabetes) and we have been craving “fried fish”, made this last night and it was out of this world!!! Served with a Mexican corn salad and it was a super supper. Very easy to prepare, and plan to use this recipe often. Thanks!!”

“YUM! this was fantastic :)I used Recipe #114460 for the seasoned fish coating and alittle of Recipe #14372 and I used regular eggs in place of egg substitute with a dash of buttermilk. I sprinkled alittle fresh lemon juice over top of fillets before and after breading.It did have a crunchy coating as if it was fried in a pan. We enjoyed this! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! :)”

“Great and easy dish.Kids ate it up!I made with a regular egg and used “Fish Fry” coating.I made almost 2 lbs. of fish, 5 pieces of fish.I added a little extra time since my fish was thick.I served it with roasted asparagus and a cold pasta salad.Thank you Sue!”

“Awesome recipe. Simple, no muss no fuss, and no mess from frying.This is a great recipe. Thanks!”
