Ingredients:

Serving

4 (6 to 6 1/2- oz) catfish fillets
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp essence or other seasoning salt , recipe follows
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp minced parsley leaves
2 tbsp minced garlic
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all- purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup vegetable oil
lemon wedges, for serving

Directions:

Place the catfish in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Season the fillets with 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of the Essence. Add the lemon juice, parsley, and garlic. Turn the catfish several times to coat evenly. Allow mixture to stand at room temperature for up to 10 minutes.
Combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, and the remaining Essence in a shallow bowl. Remove the catfish from the marinade and dredge in the cornmeal mixture, coating evenly.
Heat the oil in a large, deep, cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the catfish, in batches, and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Remove catfish from the skillet with a slotted spatula and drain on paper-towels. Season with salt and serve immediately with additional parsley and lemon wedges.

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
