Description

If you love fried catfish like our family loves fried catfish, you could eat it quite often.

Many of us grew up in the Mississippi Delta, the undisputed epicenter of the farm-raised catfish culture. This healthier alternative tastes just like fried catfish and has an awesome spice blend that will tickle your taste buds. Since it is baked, you avoid all the oil required for deep frying.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Finely Ground Yellow Corn Meal. I Prefer Aunt Jemima Enriched-Degerminated
  • 1-½ teaspoon Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Celery Seed
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1-½ teaspoon Vegetable Oil (or Spray-able Oil)
  • 4 pounds Fresh Catfish Fillets

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
2. In a shallow bowl combine all dry ingredients (cornmeal through garlic powder).
3. Line a rimmed baking sheet/cookie sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil and coat the foil with a generous layer of vegetable oil or spray.
4. Dredge catfish fillets through dry mixture and place on the cookie sheet. Note: there is no need to add milk or eggs. Catfish has enough “stickie” built in to grab the cornmeal mixture.
5. Bake for 17 to 25 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. Cook until the fish breaks apart easily with a fork.
6. Enjoy!
