Cornmeal-Battered Oven-Fried Catfish

1/2 cup uncooked yellow cornmeal
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup milk
non stick cooking spray
1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 4 pieces
1 pound asparagus, steamed

Preheat oven to 425. Combine cornmeal, paprika, thyme, salt, celery seeds, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper on a plate. Pour milk onto another place. Coat a large nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray. Dredge fillets first in milk, then in cornmeal mix, coating both sides and pressing cornmeal mix gently to adhere. Place coated fillets on baking sheet and lightly spray each with cooking spray. Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before removing from cooking sheet. Serve with asparagus.

Serves 4
