Onion Dijon Crusted Catfish Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together the milk and 1 heaping tablespoon of the House Seasoning. Pour the milk mixture into a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the filets. Spread the filets in an even layer in the dish, turning to coat each side. Let marinate for about 1 hour in a cool place or the refrigerator.
• Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to come 2 inches up the side. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot and heat over medium-high heat until the thermometer reaches 370 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, stir together the cornmeal, flour and remaining 1 heaping tablespoon House Seasoning in a paper bag. Working with a few filets at a time, remove them from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them in the paper bag and gently turn the bag over several times until the filets are evenly coated with the cornmeal mixture. Remove the filets and place them on a baking sheet while you repeat the process with the remaining filets.
• Working in batches, fry the filets until golden brown and crisp on the outside and moist and flaky inside, adjusting the heat to maintain temperature, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Serve the filets with lemon wedges.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475.
• Spray baking pan with Pam or equivalent.
• Grind pecans in blender. Do not blend too long or you'll have powder.
• In a small bowl, combine melted butter, breadcrumbs, and pecans.
• Salt and pepper both side of fillets.
• Place rounded side up on baking pan.
• Rub 1 T of mustard on top of each fillet.
• Pat crumb mixture onto top of fillet, pressing it firmly over the mustard.
• Right before baking, spray each fillet lightly with Pam.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Season catfish fillets with seasoned salt. Mix orange juice, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce in a bowl.
• Heat olive oil in large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat; fry catfish in hot oil until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Spread mustard sauce on both sides of each fillet; drizzle remaining sauce over fish. Arrange bell pepper, onion, and garlic over fish.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish is easily flaked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
