I made this the other night and used very little heat on my husbands
fish and a little more on mine. I show the recipe as I adapted it so
that my hubby could deal with it. If I was making it for me, I would've
used more chili powder on each fillet:

Sprinkle 1/8 tsp of the garlic powder, 1/8 tsp of the lemon pepper, 1
dash of the chili powder on each of the catfish fillets. Coat the
fillets thoroughly with the cornmeal mixture and transfer them to the
prepared baking sheet. Dust each fillet with 1/8 tsp of the paprika.
Coat the catfish lightly with the cooking spray.

minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for about 5 minutes more,
until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily.

Serving Ideas : rice pilaf, grits or polenta

NOTES : * I found that they didn't brown as well on the bottom rack of
my oven so I moved them to the top shelf halfway through. Much
better!!!!
