Baked breaded catfish is a healthy way to go

We love catfish. Here's a healthy way to cook it, and you won't wind up with a big greasy frying pan to wash.

We had this last night with a nice salad and a bottle of cheap, quite agreeable Big House Red. I'll post a good (and healthy) recipe for a piquant rice and bean salad a little later today.

Baked catfish fillets

4 catfish fillets
3/4 cup skim milk
1 egg
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons dried or fresh chopped parsley

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. In a shallow dish, beat egg. Add milk. On a piece of waxed paper, combine cornmeal and parsley. Dip fillets into the milk mixture, then dip to coat them in cornmeal. Place onto the cookie sheet. Spray tops of fillets lightly with cooking spray. Bake 20-25 minutes until cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.
