CAJUN CATFISH SUPREME (CAN SUBSTITUTE TROUT OR EVEN CHICKEN)



Cajun Catfish Supreme (Can Substitute Trout or Even Chicken) image

An absolutely delicious and elegant dish that may be deemed gourmet with minimal effort. If substituting boneless chicken breast, it's best to pound to a thin and even thickness. Also, if using very thin fish fillets, decreasing baking time may be advised. This can be halved quite successfully. I was lucky enough to snag this from Southern Living yeeeeeears ago.

CAJUN COMPROMISE CATFISH



Cajun Compromise Catfish image

A fast, tasty, spicy fried fish recipe which can be adjusted to suit the cook's (or diner's) preference. I call it Cajun Compromise because the spice level is the result of a compromise between my wife and I. It can be served with tartar sauce for the timid, or hot sauce for the not-so-timid. Great for appetizers or a main dish.

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Catfish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds catfish fillets, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 cup milk, or as needed
1 egg
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground mustard
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 dash pepper sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot®)
¼ cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Soak the fish pieces in milk for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and hot pepper sauce. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, pepper, mustard and Cajun seasoning. Dip fish pieces into the dry mixture, then into the egg, then back into the dry mix. Set on a plate in the refrigerator and chill for about 15 minutes. This will help the batter stick to the fish.
  • Heat more than enough oil to cover the bottom of a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry fish pieces for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Depending on how much and what kind of Cajun seasoning you used, some of the breading may get darker than the rest.
  • Drain the fish on paper towels and serve with hot sauce or tartar sauce. Enjoy!

CAJUN BLACKENED CATFISH

This is a recipe that I obtained from a very good Cajun friend who is a native of Lafayette, Louisiana. His family adopted me (friendly) many years ago and we have swapped Cajun and Creole recipes through the years.

Provided by Paul Schultz

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Catfish

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
4 (4 ounce) catfish fillets, skinned
¾ cup unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, oregano, and thyme until thoroughly combined. Press the catfish fillets into the spice mixture to thoroughly coat.
  • Arrange a portable heat source outdoors, such as a butane burner or side burner of a gas grill. Melt butter in a glass or metal bowl. Light the burner, and place a large cast-iron skillet onto the burner over high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of melted butter into the skillet; set remaining 1/2 cup of butter aside.
  • When the butter in the skillet is smoking hot, lay the catfish fillets into the skillet. Cook until the spices are burned onto the fillets and the catfish is opaque and flaky inside, about 3 minutes per side. Don't breathe smoke from burning spices. To serve, pour remaining 1/2 cup of butter over the catfish.

Tips:

  • For a crispy catfish, ensure the fish is dry before coating it in the seasoned flour mixture and frying it in hot oil.
  • To achieve a well-seasoned fish, use a flavorful combination of spices and seasonings in the flour mixture. Cajun seasoning is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other blends like Old Bay or Creole seasoning.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using it to marinate the fish.
  • To prevent the catfish from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fish. You can test the oil's temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into it. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
  • Cook the catfish until it is golden brown and flaky. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit as measured with a meat thermometer.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Cajun Catfish Supreme offers a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The catfish is marinated in buttermilk and coated in a seasoned flour mixture, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior. Whether you serve it with traditional Cajun sides like rice and beans or your favorite vegetables, this dish is sure to satisfy.
