"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
4 (6-8 ounce) catfish filets
2 teaspoons Emeril's Essence
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme leaves
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to the broil setting, and adjust the rack to about 6-inches from the broiler unit.

Season the catfish filets on both sides with the Essence, salt and white pepper. Place on an aluminum foil lined baking or broiler sheet pan. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and thyme; stir to blend. Use a small spoon to dab the garlic oil mixture evenly over the top of the catfish, being sure to coast each piece of the fish evenly. Once the fish is seasoned and dabbed with the garlic olive oil, drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the fish and sprinkle each fish with 1 tablespoon of the bread crumbs. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread crumbs and place the catfish under the broiler to cook.

Broil the catfish 6-7 minutes, turn around (not flip just turn) and cook for another 6-7 minutes or until the bread crumbs are golden and fish is cooked through. Serve immediately.

This is from my buddy Emeril. Love this. Reminds me of something I had in NOLA. Couple of things. First, you can buy Emeril's Essence in any major grocery store in the spice section. Also, you can certainly use purchased plain or seasoned bread crumbs, just adjust salt and pepper accordingly.
