LOUISIANA FRIED CATFISH

FAST

Crispy golden-fried catfish coated in zesty southern spices is a Sunday afternoon favorite in our house. This dish is traditionally battered in buttermilk and deep fried. This air fryer version is lighter and healthier, yet every bit as good as grandma used to make.

MAKES 2 FILETS

PREP TIME: 10 minutes

COOK TIME: 17 to 20 minutes

FRY: 400°F

½ cup fine cornmeal

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 catfish filets, cut in half

Olive oil spray

1.Place a parchment liner in the air fryer basket.

2.In a zip-top bag, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, paprika, Old Bay Seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Seal and shake to mix.

3.Rinse the fish, and pat most of the moisture off with paper towels.

4.Place the moist fish in the zip-top bag with the seasoning, seal, and give it a gentle shake to thoroughly coat.

5.Place the coated fish on the liner in the fryer basket, and fry for 10 minutes.

6.Open the basket, and spray the fish with olive oil. Flip the fish, and spray the other side with olive oil. Continue to fry for another 7 to 10 minutes, until golden and crispy, and serve.

Ingredient tip: Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your filets. Try not to use ultra-thin filets, as they tend to fall apart when flipping.
