Recipe Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper

- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 (4 ounce) fillets catfish
- 1 cup milk
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking Directions
- 1 In a mixing bowl, stir together cornmeal, cayenne pepper, paprika and onion powder. Mix well. Pour mixture onto a large sheet of waxed paper.
- 2 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 3 Pour milk into a medium bowl. Dip catfish filets into milk and hold up and let the milk drip off. Roll the milk-soaked filet in the cornmeal mixture until completely covered. Set aside.
