I have a few pan-fried catfish recipes that I use all the time, but I couldn't help but think that I could probably stream line the process by baking it all in the oven at once. And, thank goodness, I tried it because that theory was right. And delicious.

This Cajun Baked Catfish recipe is very similar to my Southern Fried Catfish recipe (also delicious, so hop over and try it as soon as you get a chance!), but you can just bread it all at once, and then bake it all in the oven at once. Lots of time saved, and no flavor sacrificed.
