BAKED CATFISH FILLETS 
6 catfish fillets
1 tbsp. butter
1 lemon, squeezed
1/4 c. sherry or dry white wine
1 tsp. lite soy sauce
Tarragon
Garlic powder
Paprika
Pepper to taste
Salt (optional) or salt substitute

Wash and dry catfish fillets. Sprinkle both sides of fish with garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika and a pinch of tarragon. Place "what would be skin side" down in a greased 9x13 inch pan.

Mix together juice of lemon, sherry and soy sauce. Pour over fish. Dot each fillet with butter. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 30-45 minutes, depending on size of fillets. Baste fish once as juice thickens. Remove from oven with a little thickened juice remaining to baste fish. Or, can cook until juice evaporated. Either way is good.

Quick and easy, lowfat, low sodium.

 Ben (Virginia) says:
Decent recipe but it's not low sodium. Soy Sauce itself is loaded down with it.

I have had a hard time finding a catfish recipe that we both like. We loved it. Easy AND yummy.

Pretty good for catfish! Not my favorite fish, so when I prepared it, I was pleased to have liked it. :) Also, Ben, the review critic, needs to realize the lite soy sauce is lower in sodium than the regular, plus it takes such a small amount in the recipe, that it's hardly "loaded with sodium". Just saying.

Turned out great! Used low sodium soy and subbed in a lime drink mix instead of wine. Will make it again.

What did you use as a lime drink mix?

Now, that I have retired, have a little more time to cook, and have just got reintroduced to catfish. I have to be on a very low sodium/no sodium diet, & this dish was delicious without the high sodium soy sauce. This is the 3rd time I will enjoy it! Thanks

fI have retired RN, with kidney disease due to high BP. I tried this recipe without the salt and soy sauce and was great. My RN instructor, from years ago, told us that if you leave salt alone for 2-3 days, you will lose your taste for it; she was right. After 3-4 days salt free (like salt withdrawal) I don't miss it. Try it and save your BP & kidneys--------Dave

I'm on a virtually no salt diet for kidney dz, so I left off the sodium & soy sauce, but was still excellent. I have used this recipe 3 times now, and guests for dinner loved it!!! Thanks

It is great, I added Parmesan cheese and took it to another level with sweet potato candid and cabbage and hot water cornbread, made my tongue slap my brains, that is what I call my little personal cookbook lol, I also had a small piece of spaghetti pie, I did 1 whole catfish and 1 filet, as you know the taste is different but good.

Soy Sauce substitute = Coconut liquid aminos - 1 tsp., 10 calories - and only 140 mg., of sodium - (per teaspoon)... is fantastic.
Best I have found - by company "Bragg... usually located same location as the Soy Sauce...
