This is my favorite catfish recipe:

Fresh Thyme, Garlic and Lemon Broiled Catfish with Bread Crumbs
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse
4 (6 to 8-ounce) catfish fillets
2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to the broil setting, and adjust the oven rack to about 6-inches from the broiler unit!.

Season the catfish fillets on both sides with the creole seasoning (recipe at bottom, or purchase prepared), salt and white pepper!. Place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet!. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and thyme; stir to blend!. Use a small spoon to dab the garlic and oil mixture evenly over the catfish, being sure to coat each piece of fish evenly!. Once the fish is seasoned and dabbed with the garlic olive oil, drizzle the lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle each fish with 1 tablespoon of the bread crumbs!. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread crumbs and place the catfish under the broiler to cook!. Broil the catfish for 6 to 7 minutes, turn around and cook for another 6 to 7 minutes, or until the bread crumbs are golden brown!. Remove from the oven and serve immediately!.

Creole Seasoning:
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly!.

I just made mine yesterday the same exact way!.

Fresh caught yesterday morning, then tossed in some cornmeal with salt and pepper before frying!.

Got approval from 5 adults, a 6 yr old, and 4 1-yr olds!. Tough crowd, but everybody was happy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I too start with cornmeal but I like to spice it up a bit with Paprika (Russian toasted), cayan pepper, oregano, salt and pepper!. Equal parts of all, but less on the pepper if you do not like it hot!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Both my dredge and batter are flour with salt, fresh cracked black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin and a ton of Cajun seasoning!. It's really tasty when it fries up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

cayenne pepper , lemon pepper , garlic powder , salt and pepper!.!.!.
