Parmesan-Crusted Catfish Filets is a great fish dish. The seasonings are just right, and the Parmesan cheese adds delicious flavor. Fast, Easy and Healthy!
This recipe is for 2, but I have easily doubled it for more.
This bakes so quickly that I often make a bunch of these fillets and eat them leftover for lunches.
You can use Tilapia if you can’t find catfish!
I almost always serve with Oven Roasted Asparagus and a Almond Orange Salad. For dessert it’s this easy Creamy Apple Dessert.
All very easy recipes, and very delicious.

Parmesan-Crusted Catfish Filets
Ingredients
- 3 -4 Catfish fillets depending on size
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- olive oil
Instructions
- Thaw and wash the catfish fillets if frozen. Pat dry on paper towels.
- Combine the crumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and garlic powder on a plate, mixing well.
- On a different plate, pour 1 tbsp lemon juice.
- Working 1 at a time, place a fillet on the plate in the lemon juice, sprinkle with desired amount of kosher salt (be careful about how much salt is in your Parmesan, crumbs, and other seasonings), black pepper, and garlic powder. Turn the fillet over in the lemon juice and sprinkle seasoning on the other side.
- Dredge the fillet in the Parmesan mixture patting it all over to coat.
- Place in an oiled baking dish, repeat with remaining fillets.
- Sprinkle a little lemon juice over fillets and drizzle or spray them lightly with olive oil.
- Bake at 425ºF for about 20 minutes or until they easily flake with a fork and edges are browning (you can sprinkle some more parmesan on top if desired). You can also bake these faster at 450ºF.
