  4. Mix all the fish around using your hand in the bowl making sure that each piece is coated with seasoning. 
  5. Depending on the size of fish and how many portions you are cooking you may want to double up 1/4 or 3/4 of spice depending on your taste palate.
  6. After you have seasoned the fish place fish in a baking dish or aluminum tin pan big enough for the fish to be evenly spaced apart. 
  7. Preheat oven to 375degrees. 
  8. Take 3 tablespoons of stick butter and melt it a safe microwaveable dish. Melt for about 1 minute making sure it does not burn. 
  9. Pour melted butter over each piece of seasoned catfish. 
  10. Take your dried parsley flakes using your hand crushing them over each piece of fish: 
  11. Place fish in oven once it’s heated to 375 Degrees. 
  12. Cook uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes depending on how thick your catfish is.
  13. To make the top of the fish a little crispy you can change the cooking temp to broil the last 4 minutes of cooking time. 
  14. (WARNING YOU HAVE TO STAND BY THE OVEN WATCHING MAKING SURE IT DOES NOT BURN BUT JUST GETS A NICE CRISP ON TOP)
  15. The safe internal temperature for cooked fish is 145°F, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. 
  16. Enjoy 😋
