Catfish Fillets With Sesame Seeds

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Bread crumbs
1/3 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Sesame seeds
1 tablespoon	15ml	Minced fresh parsley leaves
4		Catfish fillets - (6 to 8 oz ea)
		All-purpose flour
2		Eggs - lightly beaten
3 tablespoons	45ml	Vegetable oil
3 tablespoons	45ml	Sesame oil

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a shallow dish, stir together the bread crumbs, sesame seeds, and parsley.

Dredge the catfish fillets in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip them in the eggs, and coat them with the crumb mixture.

In a large skillet with an ovenproof handle, heat the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil over medium-high heat and saute the fillets, turning them once, for 1 minute, or until they are golden.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the fillets for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through, and arrange them on a heated platter over a bed of braised spinach.

In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and drizzle it over the catfish. Serve hot. This recipe serves 4.
