Cornmeal-Crusted Catfish with Tartar Sauce
Pan-fried catfish fillets coated in a crisp cornmeal crust served with a zesty, creamy Greek yogurt tartar sauce and vibrant steamed green beans.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Catfish fillet
2 tbsp Yellow cornmeal
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Finely chopped dill pickles
1 tsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Chopped fresh dill
1 cup Fresh green beans
PREPARATION
Pat the catfish fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure the cornmeal coating adheres properly for a better crunch.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Press each catfish fillet firmly into the cornmeal mixture until evenly and thoroughly coated on both sides.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the catfish fillets in the skillet and pan-fry for 4-5 minutes per side until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the tartar sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, chopped pickles, lemon juice, and fresh dill in a small bowl.
Steam the fresh green beans for 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp and maintain their bright green color.
Serve the hot catfish immediately with a generous dollop of the chilled tartar sauce and the steamed green beans on the side.
