Tips:

Choose the right catfish. Look for firm, opaque flesh that is free of any blemishes. Avoid any fish that has a strong, fishy odor.
Use a light hand with the seasonings. Catfish is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overpower it with too many strong flavors. Lemon, capers, and oregano are all classic pairings for catfish, and they provide a bright, fresh flavor that complements the fish without overpowering it.
Don't overcook the catfish. Catfish is a quick-cooking fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is opaque and flaky. Overcooked catfish will be tough and dry.
Serve the catfish immediately. Catfish is best served hot out of the pan. If you need to keep it warm, you can place it in a low oven (200 degrees F) until you're ready to serve it.

Conclusion:

Catfish with lemon, capers, and oregano is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful fish recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
