This oven baked 4-ingredient crispy cornmeal catfish is straight from my grandfather down South, just adapted for a busy weeknight oven instead of a cast-iron skillet on the porch. He swears this simple cornmeal crust is the only proper way to eat fish: no fancy marinades, no long ingredient list, just crunchy, golden edges and tender, flaky catfish. Itβs the kind of recipe you can throw together after work with pantry staples, line a sheet pan with foil, and have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes with almost no cleanup.
