This easy and satisfying broiled catfish will be a weeknight dinner go-to. Other fish fillets, such as salmon or red snapper, are also delicious topped with these simple but flavorful bread crumbs. If you like, add a few pinches of other fragrant dried herbs like parsley, rosemary or sage to the mix, too.

Ingredients
Method
Place the rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add bread crumbs, thyme and cayenne pepper, stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Set aside.
Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 teaspoons of the oil.
Arrange fish in the prepared dish, brush with remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Broil fish until almost opaque, about 4 to 6 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle fish with bread crumbs and broil until crumbs are golden and crusty, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely so crumbs don't burn. Serve with lemon wedges.
