Ingredients
8 fillets boneless catfish
2 cups milk
3 1/2 cups white cornmeal
3 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal, coarser grind
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons granulated garlic
4 tablespoons thyme, dried
Cajun seasoning
1/4 cup melted butter or butter cooking spray
Tartar sauce, optional
Directions
- Soak catfish in milk for approximately 1 hour, in the refrigerator. In a bowl, mix together white and yellow cornmeal. Spice up the cornmeal with salt, red and black pepper, granulated garlic, thyme, and Cajun seasoning, to taste.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Take the fish out of the milk and shake off the excess milk. Dip the fish fillets in the spiced cornmeal mixture. Put the fillets on a buttered cookie sheet and drizzle butter over the fish. Or you can use a butter spray. Bake fish in oven for approximately 10 minutes. Time may vary depending on the thickness of fillet. Fish should get a nice crusty, golden color. Serve with tartar sauce.
