Lemony Baked Catfish

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Use catfish, tilapia, orange roughy, or your own favorite white fish in this light recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 1/2 to 2 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons natural applesauce
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1 pound catfish fillets, or use tilapia, roughy, or other firm, mild white fish
  • 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs, seasoned

Preparation:

Mix first four ingredients together well and add fish fillets. Marinate in the refrigerator for an hour. Take catfish fillets out; dip in bread crumbs (pre-seasoned or add your own seasonings), then refrigerate for another 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 400° oven for about 20 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
Serves 4.
