Notes

Make it ahead. Cook your catfish the day before and reheat it the next day for dinner in a pinch or a delicious and healthy lunch.

Watch the thickness. Not all catfish filets are going to be the same. If you end up with one or more that are much thicker than the rest, slice them so they all can cook as evenly as possible.

Let it rest. Allow your catfish filets to rest for about 5 minutes when they come out of the oven. This lets all of the juices redistribute so that when you cut into the fish, it’s extra moist and juicy.
