This is my favorite way to prepare fresh fish. The fillets cook up moist with an irresistible crisp, golden coating. Whether your fish comes from a nearby lake or the grocery store, it makes a terrific summer meal. -Tammy Moore-Worthington, Artesia, New Mexico Ingredients:
1 egg white |
1 cup milk |
1 cup cornmeal |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
4 catfish fillets (8 ounces each) |
canola oil |
lemon or lime wedges, optional |
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg white until foamy; add milk and mix well. In another shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, garlic powder, cayenne and pepper. Dip fillets in milk mixture, then coat with cornmeal mixture.
2. Heat 1/4 in of oil in a large skillet; fry fish over medium-high for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with lemon or lime if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
