4 Kids 'n Us Recipes

Yield 6 portions
Ingredients

2 pounds catfish fillets about 1/2 inch thick
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups cornmeal
Canola Oil for frying
Method

Trim the catfish of any skin or membrane. Mix the garlic, salt and
pepper together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides
of the fillets. Dredge the fillets in the cornmeal, pressing gently.
Shake off the excess and set the fillets aside. Heat the oil in a
large heavy skillet over a medium heat until a little cracker meal
sprinkle in the oil gives off a lively sizzle. Slip the fillets into
the skillet and fry, turning once, until the fillets are cooked through
and golden brown on both sides, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove and drain
on paper towels before serving.
