CATFISH FILET RECIPES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, stir together cornmeal, cayenne pepper, paprika and onion powder. Mix well. Pour mixture onto a large sheet of waxed paper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Pour milk into a medium bowl. Dip catfish filets into milk and hold up and let the milk drip off. Roll the milk-soaked filet in the cornmeal mixture until completely covered. Set aside.
• Fry the garlic in the hot skillet, but do not burn. Add the coated catfish filets and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, sprinkling salt on the fish after each turn. Cook until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a small bowl mix together softened butter with garlic, salt, pepper, minced herbs and lemon zest.
• Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and place fish fillets in a single layer.
• Brush butter mixture evenly on top of fish then top with lemon slices.
• Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
