Pecan Crusted Catfish with Maple Butter

This delicious Southern-inspired dish features catfish fillets with a crunchy pecan crust, served with a sweet and savory maple butter.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a shallow dish, combine the chopped pecans and bread crumbs.
Season the catfish fillets with salt and pepper, then dip in the beaten eggs, and coat with the pecan mixture.
Place the coated fillets on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the maple syrup and cook until heated through.
Serve the catfish hot, topped with the maple butter.
