I loved this recipe. I love catfish and need a healthier way to make it other than frying it. My husband can't wait till I make it again.

I tripled this recipe to make 6 servings and it was excellent. The family approved this one, so thank you for sharing it!

Absolutely wonderful! We loved this even though I made one change. I used Emeril's essence instead of cajun seasoning. It was fantastic!
