Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup whole milk
2 heaping tablespoons Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
10 catfish filets, about 4 ounces each
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 1/2 cups finely ground yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Lemon wedges, for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Stir together the milk and 1 heaping tablespoon of the House Seasoning. Pour the milk mixture into a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the filets. Spread the filets in an even layer in the dish, turning to coat each side. Let marinate for about 1 hour in a cool place or the refrigerator.
  • Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to come 2 inches up the side. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot and heat over medium-high heat until the thermometer reaches 370 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the cornmeal, flour and remaining 1 heaping tablespoon House Seasoning in a paper bag. Working with a few filets at a time, remove them from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them in the paper bag and gently turn the bag over several times until the filets are evenly coated with the cornmeal mixture. Remove the filets and place them on a baking sheet while you repeat the process with the remaining filets.
  • Working in batches, fry the filets until golden brown and crisp on the outside and moist and flaky inside, adjusting the heat to maintain temperature, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Serve the filets with lemon wedges.
  • Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb catfish fillet
4 medium sized tomatoes
3 1/2 ounces orzo pasta
3 sage leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons oregano leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 lime, juice of
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven (375 F, 200 C).
  • Cut tomatoes into small pieces. Place in an oven-proofed casserole.
  • Add orzo pasta, sugar, chopped herb leaves, water and salt to taste. Mix well.
  • Put fish filet on this bed of tomatoes and orzo pasta. Drizzle the lime juice over fishfilets and mixture. Salt the fish filet to taste.
  • Mix breadcrumbs, parmesan and olive oil in small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the fish filets.
  • Put into oven and bake for 20 minutes until cooked and crust is lightly brown.
  • Take out and serve with green salad.
  • NOTE: You can replace the catfish filet by other fresh or frozen fish filet. Choose the fish you like best.
  • NOTE: The orzo pasta is not pre-cooked in this recipe. I like it that way, because the pasta will remain more "al dente".
