Catfish In Blue Corn Jalapeno Crumb Coating
Ingredients
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds catfish fillets
3/4 cup blue cornmeal
1 jalapeno chile or to taste, finely minced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil for frying
Salsa and lemon wedges or lime wedges
Instructions Rinse and pat the fillets almost dry, leaving enough moisture on
each for the meal mixture to stick. Combine cornmeal, chile, garlic, and salt in
a shallow bowl.
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each
fillet into the meal mixture, then place in hot oil, turning when browned. Fry
until other side is browned and fish just begins to flake when pierced with a
fork. Serve with salsa and lemon wedges.
