Un-Fried Catfish

Preheat oven to 400°.

Spray the vegetable oil over the baking sheet 3 times to coat.

Put the cornmeal, thyme and basil on a large plate and mix well.

Sprinkle 1/8 tsp. of the garlic powder, 1/8 tsp. of the lemon pepper and 1 tsp. of the blackening seasoning on each catfish filet.

Coat the filets thoroughly with the cornmeal mixture and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Dust each filet with 1/8 tsp. of paprika.

Coat the catfish lightly with the cooking spray.

Place the baking sheet on the bottom shelf of oven.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Reduce heat to 350° and bake for about 5 minutes more, until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily.
