Time 2h33m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 long soft-crusted French bread baguettes
6 (6-ounce) catfish fillets
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1 cup yellow corn meal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch cayenne
Sliced pickles
1 recipe Spicy Slaw, recipe follows
Hot sauce, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving
Canola oil, for frying
1 head green cabbage, shredded
2 carrots, grated
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 green onions, chopped
1 red chile, sliced
11/2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup Creole mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
Pinch sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
Several dashes hot sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour about 3 inches of oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the smashed garlic and swirl the pot around to infuse the garlic flavor into the butter. Slice the French bread in 1/2 lengthwise and brush the top and insides with the garlic butter. Stick the bread in the oven for 5 minutes to warm it through.
  • Season both sides of the catfish fillets with a fair amount of salt and pepper. In a wide bowl, mix the milk and egg together, season with salt and pepper. Mix the cornmeal, flour, cayenne, salt and pepper in a pie dish using a fork. Dip the catfish in the wet batter, then dredge in the dry; being sure to cover the fillets completely. Gently drop the fish in the hot oil in batches so the pan is not overcrowded. Fry the fillets for 3 minutes and then drain on a platter lined with paper towels; sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
  • To assemble the sandwich, put the pickles across the bottom 1/2 of the bread, lay the fried catfish on top. Spoon a small mound of slaw on top of the catfish and close up the sandwich with the top 1/2 of the bread. Cut into portions and serve immediately with hot sauce and lemon on the side.
  • Combine the cabbage, carrot, red onion, green onions, and chile in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar; stirring to incorporate. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to mix. Season the cole slaw with celery seed, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Chill for 2 hours in refrigerator while frying the catfish.

OVEN-FRIED CATFISH WITH RéMOULADE SAUCE



Oven-Fried Catfish with Rémoulade Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Fish     Bake     Quick & Easy     Mardi Gras     Mayonnaise     Cornmeal     Sour Cream     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For fish
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
4 (6-ounce) pieces catfish fillet
2 large eggs, beaten
For rémoulade sauce
1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make fish:
  • Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in middle.
  • Brush a baking pan with 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Combine bread crumbs, cornmeal, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large sealable plastic bag and shake to mix.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Working with 1 piece at a time, dip fish in eggs, letting excess drip off, then put in bag and shake to coat well with crumbs.
  • Transfer fish to baking pan and bake until undersides are golden, about 6 minutes. Drizzle fish with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then carefully turn over and cook until golden and just cooked thourough, about 6 minutes more.
  • Make rémoulade while fish bakes:
  • Whisk together all rémoulade ingredients and salt to taste. Serve fish with sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Catfish: Opt for fresh or frozen catfish fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets with a strong, fishy smell.
  • Proper Seasoning: Season the catfish fillets generously with a flavorful combination of spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This enhances the taste of the fish and adds a delightful aroma.
  • Perfect Frying Technique: Heat the oil to the correct temperature (350°F) before frying the catfish. Use a deep fryer or a large skillet with enough oil to fully submerge the fillets. Fry the catfish in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Crusty Coating: For a crispy coating, dredge the catfish fillets in a mixture of flour, cornmeal, and seasonings before frying. This creates a golden-brown, flavorful crust that complements the tender fish.
  • Homemade Remoulade Sauce: Elevate your po' boy with a homemade celeriac remoulade sauce. Combine mayonnaise, celery, celeriac, capers, pickles, parsley, and Creole mustard for a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce that perfectly complements the catfish.
  • Fresh and Crunchy Vegetables: Use fresh, crisp vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to add texture and flavor to your po' boy. Rinse and dry the vegetables thoroughly before assembling the sandwich.
  • Quality Bread: Choose a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings without becoming soggy. French bread, hoagie rolls, or even kaiser rolls are excellent options.

The fried catfish po' boy with celeriac remoulade is a delightful sandwich that combines the flavors of the American South with a touch of French flair. With its crispy catfish, creamy remoulade, and fresh vegetables, this po' boy is a satisfying and flavorful meal that is perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a game-day snack.
