Catfish Ingredients
Cooking Directions
1. Prepare the Catfish
Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Breading
In a shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Prepare the Wet Mixture
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and the egg until smooth.
4. Coat the Fillets
Dip each catfish fillet first into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the cornmeal mixture. Press lightly to adhere.
5. Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
6. Fry the Catfish
Carefully add the coated fillets to the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Drain and Serve
Remove the fried catfish from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
