Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper before breading. Broil the baked filets a few minutes before serving to achieve a better crust.
Anna
Absolutely love this recipe. I skip butter and drizzle fish fillets with avocado oil instead. Makes for perfect and easy fish sandwiches: toasted sourdough, mayo, avocado, tomato and fish. Fast and tasty dinner!
Mary Steele
So good. Farmraised Catfish is a sweet, meaty freshwater fish. Be sure you buy American raised, like Simmons Farms. So much better than tilapia, which I would never eat.

Smoked paprika was a nice touch too!

I used regular parmesan cheese out of a jar, and threw in some regular bread crumbs in addition to the flour, and it came out beautifully. I eliminated the almonds.
Andy
Great recipe. We did it with basa (because my wife bought basa by mistake and I wanted to do something with it).
I think that almonds were a bit redundant, though. I tried some of the fish with olive oil instead of butter, and it had more of a modern taste.
