What you’ll need:

  • 2 U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish fillets
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup pecans (chopped)
  • 1 clove of garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • Nonstick spray
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to prepare:

Pat dry your U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish with a paper towel, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard and melted butter, and mix well. Set the mixture aside.

For the pecan crust, combine shredded Parmesan cheese, chopped pecans, garlic and parsley in a bowl, and gently mix until well combined.

Brush the honey mustard mixture onto the catfish. Using your hands, grab a generous amount of your pecan mixture and press it onto the top of the catfish.

Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray and air fry on 375º F for 9 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
