Catfish Po Boy and Capers Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chipotle Remoulade

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, and salt to taste. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Capers Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy. Once done, toss with capers and chopped parsley.

  4. 4

    Fry the Catfish

    In a shallow dish, mix together cornmeal, flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Dip each catfish fillet into the buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Po Boys

    Toast the hoagie buns lightly. Place a fried catfish fillet on each bun, top with the homemade slaw, and drizzle with chipotle remoulade. Serve with the capers potatoes on the side.
