Recipe - Oven-Fried Catfish (The Best!)

SEASONING MIX
1 One fourth teaspoon Garlic powder
One half teaspoon Black pepper
1 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon White pepper
1 teaspoon Onion powder
One half teaspoon Oregano
1 teaspoon Dried basil
One half teaspoon Ground cumin
One half teaspoon Paprika
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne

FISH
4 Catfish (4 to 5 oz. each)
fillets
One half cup Toasted bread crumbs
2 tablespoon Finely chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoon Finely cut or sliced up green onions
1 tablespoon Olive oil

Okay, I promised you the world's best fish recipe here it is! It's from
Chef Paul Prudhomme's Fork in the Road.

Seasoning mix: Combine in a small bowl.

Sprinkle all surfaces of fish evenly with 4 teaspoons of the seasoning mix.
Preheat oven to 450. Combine bread crumbs, parsley, green onions, and
remaining seasoning mix in a bowl. Add the oil and mix it with your fingers
until the crumbs are moist.

Dredge the fish fillets, one at a time, in the breadcrumb mixture,
pressing down gently on each side. Shake off any excess crumbs. Place the
fish on a nonstick baking sheet, presentation (skinless) side up, and bake
6 minutes. Turn the fish over and bake another 6 minutes. Turn over one
more time (presentation side up) and cook til done, 4 minutes more.

Now, I have never used the oil or the cut or sliced up green onions or chopped
parsley. The crumbs seem to stick fine without the oil. However, Chef
Prudhomme says the parsley and green onions are extremely important, so I
guess I should try it some time. Not only my husband, who likes spicy
foods, but my children, LOVE this dish.
