Catfish Fillet

Sandwich Assembly

Roasted Jalapeno Remoulade

Method

Preparation of Catfish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Catfish

    Soak the catfish fillets in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor the fish.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, flour, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Catfish

    Remove the catfish from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Catfish

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded catfish fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparation of Roasted Jalapeno Remoulade

  1. 5

    Make the Remoulade

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, roasted jalapenos, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly of Sandwich

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each brioche bun, layer shredded romaine lettuce, catfish fillet, tomato slices, and a generous dollop of roasted jalapeno remoulade. Top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the catfish sandwiches immediately with additional remoulade on the side if desired.
