Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the catfish fillets in a baking dish that's about 9x13 inches. In a small bowl, mix together parsley, paprika, thyme, oregano, basil, and black pepper, then sprinkle this herb blend evenly over the fish. In another bowl, combine lemon juice, melted butter, and garlic powder, and drizzle this mixture over the fillets to add flavor and moisture. Pop the dish into the oven and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, which should take around 20 minutes. Once done, let it cool for a minute or two before serving.

Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the fish from drying out. Avoid freezing as it may affect the texture of the baked fish.
