Today's recipe is a great appetizer or your protein for dinner! These Crispy Oven Baked Catfish Nuggets are SO good! I actually love catfish if it's cooked properly, but if it's not your thing, go ahead and substitute any other white fish that you prefer!
I will be serving them on game day soon, and they are a perfect finger food for the kiddos too. The panko breading is so crispy, and even though the marinade includes hot sauce, they don't turn out very spicy at all. I also love that they are baked and not fried, making them healthier, which is great! Enjoy!

This sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh yum!!!! I would dive right into those. As an aside, I'm from Minnesota! I haven't lived there for quite a few years, but I grew up in Grand Rapids and spent some time in Duluth, and several years in St. Paul.
ReplyDeleteSheena, these nuggets look SO good and they're a perfect appetizer for popping during the game! I think my kiddos would love these, too. They adore finger foods!

ReplyDeleteI love panko as a breading. Perfect game day snack!
ReplyDeleteMy dad loves catfish - these are so cute! At first sight, I totally thought they were chicken nuggets! I'll suggest this to my parents as my dad is in the full swing of 'all things football' and this would be a great snack to keep him company during the games!
