- Tips
- You may either bake the entire fillets or cut them into small pieces. However, smaller pieces will cook faster.
- Make sure the catfish fillets are fully cooked before serving. The cooked fillets will flake easily with a fork and will be solid white throughout.
- Pat the fillets dry before seasoning to remove excess water so that they won't become soggy after cooking.
