I love catfish and I'm always looking for new catfish recipes. This is one of the very best I've made! The fillets are slathered with mayo, Dijon, fresh garlic, paprika, and salt & pepper, then coated in Panko and baked! The flavor is incredible and the fish are perfectly cooked with a crisp coating, so much healthier than frying and no mess!
