Ingredients

Yellow cornmeal

½ cup(s)

Paprika

1 tsp

Dried thyme

1 tsp

Table salt

1 tsp

Celery seed

½ tsp

Onion powder

½ tsp

Garlic powder

Black pepper

½ tsp, freshly ground

Fat free skim milk

½ cup(s)

Cooking spray

Uncooked catfish

1 pound(s), cut into 4 pieces

Lemon

1 item(s), large, quartered

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a large nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a shallow soup bowl, combine cornmeal, paprika, thyme, salt, celery seeds, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper. Pour milk into another shallow soup bowl.
  3. Dredge fillets first in milk and 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.
