I can tell you one AHA recipe that I love, but not knowing where you live
I'm not sure how readily you can find catfish fillets You can use any
mild white fish for this.

6 catfish fillets (about 6 oz. each)
3/4 c. nonfat buttermilk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. red pepper sauce (I used more than this of Tabasco)
3 oz. fat free low-salt whole wheat crackers, crushed
1 Tbs. lowfat margarine, melted
Vegetable cooking oil spray
2 Tbs. shipped fresh parsley
lemon wedges

Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly spray a 13X9" baking dish with cooking spray.
Rinse the fish and pat dry.

Combine buttermilk, salt and hot pepper sauce in a small, shallow dish [like
a pie pan]. Put cracker crumbs on a plate.

Dip the fillets in the buttermilk mixture, then in crumbs, coating evenly.
Put fillets in baking dish. Drizzle with margarine and lightly spray with
vegetable oil spray.

Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when testing
with a fork. To serve, sprinkle fish with parsley and garnish with lemon
wedges.
