Ingredients

Yellow cornmeal

½ cup(s)

Smoked paprika

1 tsp(s)

Dried thyme

1 tsp(s)

Table salt

1 tsp(s)

Celery seed

½ tsp(s)

Onion powder

½ tsp(s)

½ tsp(s)

Black pepper

½ pinch(es), freshly ground

Fat-free skim milk

Cooking spray

2 spray(s), (5 one-second sprays per serving)

Uncooked catfish fillet

1 pound(s), cut into 4 pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  2. Mix cornmeal, paprika, thyme, salt, celery seeds, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper together in a shallow soup bowl. Pour milk into another shallow soup bowl.
  3. Coat a large nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray. Dredge fillets first in milk, then in cornmeal mixture, coating both sides and pressing cornmeal mixture gently to adhere. Place coated fillets on baking sheet and lightly spray each with cooking spray.
