Instructions

1- Prepare the Cowboy Butter:

In a bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, honey mustard, lemon juice or zest, oregano, thyme, parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, sea salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. Set aside.

2- Make the Pico de Gallo:

In another bowl, gently mix the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed and refrigerate until ready to use.

3- Cook the Catfish:

Coat each catfish fillet evenly with Baker's Kitchen Mix. In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the catfish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden crispy and thoroughly cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4- Assemble the Tacos:

Slightly warm the garlic naan bread in the oven or on a skillet. Spread a generous amount of cowboy butter on one side of each naan. Layer with a cooked catfish fillet and top with a spoonful of pico de gallo. Fold the naan to encase the filling.
