Ingredients
  

For the Baked Catfish
  • 4 fillets Catfish Choose US farmed or thawed frozen fish for the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Kosher salt is recommended for an even texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Freshly ground black pepper elevates the seasoning profile.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, grated parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, Tabasco sauce, and sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until blended.
  3. Pat the catfish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place them in your prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the catfish fillets.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the catfish flakes easily and the top is golden brown. For extra crispness, broil for a few minutes.
  6. Let the catfish rest for a few minutes before serving, optionally with sides like sautéed green beans.
