Vic's Fish

I first tried this fish in the home of baby bee's bestfriend, Vic. Although prepared for baby Vic, it is a fine fish dish for adults as well.

Parmesan Crusted Fish

1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
4 catfish fillets, or other firm-fleshed white fish, about 8 ounces each
About 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
About 2 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges for garnish


Preheat the oven to 425° F. Combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, cheese, paprika, salt and pepper on a large plate. Rub each fillet with lemon juice, then dredge in the crumb mixture to lightly coat. Line a shallow-sided baking sheet or pan with foil. Grease lightly with olive or vegetable oil spray. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets (or spray with cooking oil). Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes, depending on thickness. If desired, place under a hot broiler until the tops are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges.
