      Pesto-Crusted Catfish

      6 (1 serving = 5 ounces)
      Prep time: 15 minutes
      Total time: 45 minutes

      Description

      Directions

      Preheat oven to 400° F.

      1.  Mix all the seasonings in small bowl and begin to sprinkle even amounts on both sides of fish.
      2.  Spread equal amounts of pesto (1 teaspoon each) on topside of filets and set aside.
      3.  In medium bowl, mix cheese, oil and bread crumbs and dredge pesto side of fish in mixture until well coated.
      4.  Grease or spray baking sheet tray liberally with oil and lay fish pesto side up on sheet tray leaving space between filets.
      5.  Bake for 15–20 minutes at 400° F or until desired brownness on bottom rack.
