Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   To prepare baked catfish, you need to cut off its head and remove the innards. After that, thoroughly rinse the fish inside and out.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Now make shallow cuts on the fish, almost reaching the backbone. These cuts will later hold the lemon slices. In a separate container, mix mustard, soy sauce, mayonnaise (or sour cream), a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes uniform, then rub it all over the fish.

   Step 3

   Wash the lemon and cut it into slices. Place the lemon slices into the holes previously made in the catfish. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Put the fish into an oven bag and place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the catfish to marinate. Then bake the fish for 20–30 minutes. Doneness is indicated by a golden crust that forms on top. The oven-baked catfish is ready.
