Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
4 (6 ounce) catfish fillets
2 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup dill pickle, finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • To make the fish, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. with the rack in the middle of the oven. *Brush the baking pan with 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Combine the bread crumbs, cornmeal and 1 teaspoons of salt in a large, sealable, plastic bag and shake to mix.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Take on piece of fish at a time and dip fish in the egg, letting excess drip off, then put in the plastic bag and shake to coat well with crumbs.
  • Transfer to the baking pan and bake until the undersides are golden, about 6 minutes.
  • Drizzle fish with remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, then carefully turn over and cook until golden and just cooked through, about 6 minutes more.
  • Make the sauce while the fish is baking, by simply whisking together all the remoulade ingredients and add salt to taste.
  • Serve the fish with the sauce on the side.
