Broiled Catfish with Thyme Bread Crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- cayenne pepper Pinch of
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 4 (5- to 6-ounce) catfish fillets
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt to taste
- 1/2 lemon cut into wedges
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Place the rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add bread crumbs, thyme and cayenne pepper, stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 teaspoons of the oil.
Arrange fish in the prepared dish, brush with remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Broil fish until almost opaque, about 4 to 6 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle fish with bread crumbs and broil until crumbs are golden and crusty, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely so crumbs don't burn. Serve with lemon wedges.
