Pecan Baked Catfish, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Ingredients:

• 1 pound catfish fillets
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place catfish fillets in a baking dish.
3. In a shallow dish, combine pecans, flour, cornmeal, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. In another shallow dish, whisk together egg and milk.
5. Dip catfish fillets into egg mixture, then coat with pecan mixture.
6. Drizzle melted butter over catfish.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until fish is cooked through.

Tips to Enhance the Recipe:

• Use fresh catfish fillets: Fresh catfish will have a firmer texture and better flavor than frozen fillets.
• Season the catfish fillets: Sprinkle the fillets with extra black pepper, Cajun seasoning, or lemon-pepper seasoning before coating with the pecan mixture.
• Add other nuts: For a more complex flavor, add chopped walnuts or almonds to the pecan mixture.
• Enhance the crunch: To create a crispier crust, use crushed Ritz crackers or Panko breadcrumbs instead of flour in the pecan mixture.
• Add herbs: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or chives over the catfish before baking for added flavor.
• Make a flavorful sauce: To serve with the catfish, make a simple sauce by combining melted butter, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill.
• Serve with flavorful sides: Pair the catfish with sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a tangy coleslaw.
