Method

Preparing the Catfish Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the Catfish

    Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into smaller pieces for easier handling.

  2. 2

    Mix the Wet Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Combine the Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Coat the Catfish

    Dip each piece of catfish into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the dry mixture until well coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Patties

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated catfish pieces and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sliders

  1. 6

    Prepare the Slider Buns

    Slice the slider buns in half and lightly toast them on a skillet or grill if desired.

  2. 7

    Build the Sliders

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a piece of fried catfish, a slice of tomato, a few pickles, and a generous dollop of tartar sauce.

  3. 8

    Top and Serve

    Place the top half of the bun over the assembled ingredients, press gently, and serve immediately.
