Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Fillets

    Rub the Cajun seasoning evenly over both sides of the catfish fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Coat the Fillets

    In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each seasoned catfish fillet in the mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Fry the Catfish

    Carefully place the coated catfish fillets in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the catfish fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
