CATFISH BREADED WITH CHIA SEEDS & PAN FRIED IN AVOCADO OIL WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

I THINK THIS IS OUR NEW FAVORITE DINNER!!!!!

1.  SLICE TOMATOES. LAY ON NONSTICK FOIL, DRIZZLE WITH AVOCADO OIL, SALT, PEPPER, AND ROAST 20-25 MINUTES AT 400 DEGREES.

2.  MAKE A MIXTURE OF BREAD CRUMBS (I USED ALEIA'S GLUTEN FREE), PARMESAN CHEESE AND CHIA SEEDS.  DIP FILETS OF CATFISH IN BEATEN EGG AND DREDGE IN CRUMBS. 

3. HEAT AVACOADO OIL IN SKILLET.  PAN FRY FISH ON BOTH SIDES.  SPRINKLE ON SALT AND PEPPER.   

4. SERVE OVER BROWN RICE, TOP WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND CHOPPED SCALLIONS!

YOU CAN ORDER THE CHIA SEEDS AND THE AVOCADO OIL FROM CHOSEN FOODS.  YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. IN FACT, THIS DINNER WILL BE A WEEKLY ADDITION FOR US.  NOT ONLY WAS IT DELICIOUS BUT IT WAS FAST AND HEALTHY, TOO!
