Ingredients

Catfish and Grits Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the corn grits. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are thick and creamy. Stir in the milk and butter, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Prepare the Catfish

In a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each catfish fillet in the mixture until fully coated.

3. Fry the Catfish

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated catfish fillets. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve

Spoon the grits onto plates and top with the fried catfish. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
