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.

Tips:

Choose Fresh Catfish: Select firm and bright-colored catfish fillets for the best flavor and texture.
Proper Seasoning: Make sure to coat the catfish fillets generously with the Cajun seasoning mix, ensuring even distribution for a flavorful crust.
Crispy Coating: For a crispy coating, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and Cajun seasoning. The cornstarch helps create a golden-brown crust.
Shallow Frying: Shallow fry the catfish fillets in a large skillet with enough oil to cover them halfway. This method ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Perfect Timing: Fry the catfish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Overcooking can result in dry and tough fish.
Serve with Sides: Accompany the Cajun catfish with classic Southern sides like hush puppies, coleslaw, and tartar sauce for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the Cajun Catfish Supreme recipe offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. By following these tips and techniques, you can create a crispy and flavorful catfish dish that will impress your family and friends. Remember to use fresh ingredients, season the fish well, and cook it to perfection for the best results. Serve this dish with your favorite sides and enjoy a taste of Southern comfort food at its finest.
