Instructions: Mix well first 5 ingredients. Separately, mix well egg and milk. Dip fish in egg mixture; dredge in flour mixture. Put fish in greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Saute garlic in butter for 2-3 minutes; drizzle over fish; sprinkle with paprika and pepper; bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until fish flakes.

) Jennifer, doesnt cooking this fish in foil at 450 degrees for 30 (is this
) accurate) minutes
*boil* it? Mary in Houston

Technically, it might, but taking the foil cover off for 10 minutes gives is a crisper, crunchier texture. Really, this fish has no fishy smell or taste which is why I like the recipe. We also did it on the grill, and cooked it for 15-20 minutes before removing the top layer of foil. Trust me, its good!

To lower the fat on this couldnt you:
1. use fat-free Parmesan or 1/2 Parmesan & half bread crumbs.

2. Use 2 egg whites instead of whole eggs

3. Use evaporated skim milk. This works well for me for dredging & coating.

4. Use hoki or sea bass instead of catfish

5. Cook the garlic in say 1T of butter & add something else in for the drizzling. Some might like butter buds, but Id prefer chicken broth or vegetable broth.

The easiest way for me to start making fish low-fat has been to just lose the
butter idea altogether. Id rather do w/o than try to fake it. So I use lemon, paprika, & garlic.

Lou, please dont mention red snapper again. Friends of mine just came back from the gulf w/dolphin fish & red snapper. They had a fish broil in the backyard & I could have eaten there all week. I LOVE red snapper broiled. Next time you have some, try marinating it w/a shot of tequila & garlic. Its pretty tasty!

NOTES : I love this fish recipe. Ive done it with just say 4 or 5 large green
olives for looks & a couple of tablespoons of the "olive juice"

brine for
flavor. A friend of mine suggested using the brine for olive flavor w/o the
fat & I really like it. Of course, you have to omit as much sodium from every
thing else that you can. And if you use that recipe for chicken instead of
fish, you can add a few slices of fresh jalapeno.[Gayle]
