Low Carb Pecan Baked Catfish
This low carb pecan baked catfish is one of those recipes that tastes decadent, yet it’s packed with lots of nutrients. You could experiment with using other nuts such as almonds or macadamia nuts in place of the pecans for variety. The pinch of rosemary gives this recipe a delicious, “gourmet” flavor. I added a side of slaw to round out the meal and keep it low carb. Leave a comment to let me know your favorite way to bake fish! Happy Cooking!
