Spicy Fried Catfish

Ingredients: 4 catfish fillets (about 6 ounces each) 1 cup cornmeal 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste) Salt and black pepper to taste Vegetable oil for frying Click the next button for the preparation method Instructions: Prepare the Catfish: Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper. Create the Dredge Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices. Dredge the Catfish: Dredge each catfish fillet in the seasoned cornmeal mixture, pressing the mixture onto the fillets to ensure they are well-coated. Shake off any excess. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat enough vegetable oil to submerge the catfish fillets to 350°F (175°C). Fry the Catfish: Carefully place the coated catfish fillets into the hot oil, a few at a time, depending on the size of your skillet or fryer. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding, which can result in uneven frying. Fry the catfish for 3-5 minutes per side or until the coating is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried catfish from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve the spicy fried catfish hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your Spicy Fried Catfish as a delicious main course with a side of coleslaw, hushpuppies, or your preferred side dishes. Adjust the level of spiciness to your liking by modifying the amount of cayenne pepper in the seasoning mixture.
