Fish generally cooks 10 minutes per inch of thickness. If the catfish you buy is thicker, it will take longer to cook. Just lower the temperature slightly.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose baking mix
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon old bay seasoning
4 (4- to 6-ounce) catfish fillets
1/2 cup ranch dressing
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
lemon wedges
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow bowl.
2. Pat catfish fillets dry with paper towels; brush both sides of each fillet evenly with Ranch dressing. Dredge in cornmeal mixture; lightly press cornmeal mixture onto fillets.
3. Cook catfish in hot vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until fish just flakes with a fork. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
4. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Bisquick for all-purpose baking mix.
