Perfect Catfish Fillets: Baking Instructions & Tips at 425°F

* 1 pound catfish fillets, skinless and boneless

* 1/4 cup olive oil

* 1/4 cup lemon juice

* 1 teaspoon dried oregano

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. In a large bowl, combine the catfish fillets, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.

4. Spread the catfish fillets on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the catfish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

6. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Tips

* To check if the catfish is done cooking, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the catfish flakes easily, it is done.

* If you want a crispy crust on your catfish, broil it for 1-2 minutes after it has baked.

* Serve catfish with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
