Ingredients

1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon instant minced onion

1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon cajun spices

Preparation

Set oven rack slightly above the middle of the oven and preheat to 500.
Cut the catfish fillets into serving size pieces.
Place the milk in a bowl and whisk the egg into it.
Add the Cajun spice, minced onion and black pepper to the milk/egg mixture.
In a separate flat dish, mix the bread crumbs and the sliced almonds. Dip the fish pieces into the seasoned egg wash, then coat them with bread crumb/almond mixture.
Place the coated catfish fillets on a well greased (olive oil or similar oil) flat baking pan.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the fillets.
Place the baking pan on rack and bake for 10-12 min or until fish flakes easily. It is better not to over-cook fish.
