My Mom saved me some of the cooking sections from the Sun-Sentinel and when I visited I found this recipe from 11/8/07. It's here so I don't wind up losing it and cluttering my files. *I don't see why you can't use cornflake crumbs to save some time.

Ingredients

4 serv.

  • chili powder2 tablespoons
  • dried thyme1⁄2 teaspoon
  • garlic powder1 teaspoon
  • catfish fillet1 lb
  • buttermilk1⁄4 cup

  1. 1

    Place oven rack in the top 1/3 of the oven and preheat it to 425 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Set a wire rack in a baling pan and coat the rack lightly with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a food processor, fitted with the metal blade, or in a blender, combine the cornflakes, chili powder, thyme and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    Use the on/off pulses until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  5. 5

    Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl or plate.

  6. 6

    If the fillets are large, cut them into serving-size pieces.

  7. 7

    In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, salt and pepper and then dip the fish into the mixture to coat.

  8. 8

    Dredge the fish into the crumb mixture next, turning to coat both sides.

  9. 9

    Place the fillets on the prepared rack and repeat with remaining fillets.

  10. 10

    Coat both sides of the fillets with the non-stick cooking spray.

  11. 11

    Bake 14-18 minutes, or until the crumb coating is golden brown and crisp and the fish is opaque at the center.
