Make the stuffing
In a bowl, mix crabmeat, breadcrumbs, cheese, melted butter, mayo, salt, pepper, and cayenne until combined.
Stuff the catfish
Place fillets in the dish.
Spoon crab mixture evenly over each fillet.
Roll or fold fillets if desired, or leave open-faced.

Serve
Garnish with parsley or green onions.
Serve with rice pilaf, sautéed greens, or roasted vegetables.

Add a splash of lemon juice or white wine to the baking dish for extra moisture.
Swap Monterey Jack for Parmesan or Gruyère for a deeper flavor.
For Cajun flair, add chopped bell peppers and a pinch of Creole seasoning.
