Description

Try these lemon-pepper catfish fillets for tender, flaky fish breaded in a lemony cornmeal mixture that fries up crispy, crunchy, and golden brown.

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
6 (6 ounce) fillets catfish
1/4 cup margarine

Directions

1 Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl. Combine flour, cornmeal, and lemon-pepper seasoning in another shallow bowl.
2 Working one at a time, dip fillets in egg, then dredge in flour until well coated.
3 In a large frying pan, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Pan-fry breaded catfish in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain briefly on paper towels and serve.
