For an extra layer of flavour, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the flour mixture. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the fish to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the catfish fillets. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a vibrant touch. Serve alongside steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
