Crispy Cajun Panfish Recipe

By Booper-2

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1-1/2 teaspoons pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 pounds bass or perch fillets
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 cups mashed potato flakes
• 6 tablespoons canola oil

Preparation

Step 1

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first five ingredients. Add fish, one piece at a time; shake to coat. Whisk eggs and water in a shallow dish. Place potato flakes in another shallow dish. Dip each fillet in eggs, then coat with potato flakes. Dip fish again in eggs and potato flakes.
In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Cook fish in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork, adding oil as needed. Yield: 8 servings.
