Baked Lemon Pepper Catfish Recipes
1. Baked Lemon Pepper and Herb Catfish
Ingredients
1 cup melted butter
Lemon juice, freshly squeezed from one lemon
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt (however much preferred for seasoning purposes)
Freshly ground black pepper (standard black pepper will suffice if freshly ground is not available)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a shallow baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray foil with non-stick cooking spray. (It does not matter what flavor the non-stick cooking spray is). Catfish are known to stick while cooking, which makes using non-stick cooking spray extremely important.
Place the melted butter in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
Mix all dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and set aside.
Rinse catfish fillet with warm water and pat them dry. Then, lay them side by side in the baking dish.
Brush both sides of fillets with melted butter for additional flavor.
Next, sprinkle both sides of catfish fillets with the seasoning mixture.
Finally, drizzle the catfish with fresh lemon juice for the perfect hint of citrus.
Bake catfish fillets in the oven for twenty minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. Cooking times may vary depending on the oven. They are done when the fish flakes easily with a fork.
2. Baked Lemon Pepper Catfish with Marinade
This baked catfish recipe remains one of the easiest catfish recipes to cook! It looks amazing and has the perfect amount of flavor.
Ingredients
4 catfish fillets
1 bottle lemon herb marinade
Directions
Rinse catfish fillets and dry
Pour marinade in a mixing bowl large enough for all catfish fillets
Put catfish fillets in the bowl with marinade, ensuring that they are completely covered with the lemon herb marinade. Put the bowl in the refrigerator.
Allow the fish to soak in the marinade for one hour prior to cooking
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Line baking dish with aluminum foil. Fish that is baked with marinade is known for not sticking, so there is no need for non-stick cooking spray. However, those that are worried about the fish sticking can use non-stick cooking spray.
Lay fish in the baking dish side by side in the baking dish. Pour the rest of the marinade in the bowl over the fish. Lift the fish up so that there is ample marinade underneath of the fish fillets as well as on top of them. This will also help prevent sticking.
Place fish in the oven and cook for approximately twenty minutes. Fish are done when they can easily be flaked apart with a fork.
