Crispy Oven Fried Catfish
from Southern Living.
Cornflakes are the secret to a crisp baked coating. Serve with sautéed mixed veggies, such as squash, zucchini, and carrots, and a green salad. Test Kitchen secret: For an extra touch of heat, add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce to the buttermilk before chilling the fillets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 4 (6-oz.) catfish fillets
- 1 1/2 to 2 tsp. Creole seasoning
- 3 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
- Vegetable cooking spray
- Lemon wedges
Preparation
Step 1
1. Place buttermilk in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; add catfish, turning to coat. Seal and chill 20 minutes, turning once.
2. Preheat oven to 425°.
3. Remove fish from buttermilk, discarding buttermilk. Sprinkle fish with Creole seasoning.
4. Place crushed cornflakes in a shallow dish.
5. Dredge fish in cornflakes, pressing cornflakes gently onto each fillet. Place fish on a wire rack coated with cooking spray in a roasting pan.
6. Bake at 425° for 30 to 35 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
