Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler on high and position the rack about 3 to 4 inches from the heat source.

  3. Generously grease a broiling pan or a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray or oil.
  4. Place the catfish fillets on the prepared pan.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the top of each fillet.
  6. Sprinkle the bread crumb and cheese mixture evenly over the buttered fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Broil for 3 minutes until the topping begins to bubble and turn golden.
  8. Baste the fillets with the remaining melted butter.
  9. Return to the broiler and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Transfer the cooked catfish to a hot serving platter and serve immediately.
