Sweet Potato 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:

• Season all sides of catfish with salt and pepper. Mix together shredded Russet potatoes and sweet potatoes. Using both hands, place potatoes in palms of hands and squeeze water out of potatoes. Add onions to potatoes. Mix well. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Brush fish with beaten egg. Spread potato mixture on top of fish. Place oil in a medium saute pan. Place pan on medium heat. When pan is hot, place fish with potato side down in pan. Cook fish until potato side is brown. Turn fish to other side. Cook on the other side for two minutes. Remove fish and saute pan from heat. Place fish in baking pan. Cook in a 350 degree oven for 12 minutes. Return saute pan to medium heat. Add fish stock, mustard, and vinegar. Stir mixture. Cook about 4 minutes. Strain and serve with fish. Pour half a portion of sauce on bottom of plate. Lay half a portion of fish on top of sauce. Do the same with other half portion of sauce and fish.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the catfish with salt and Creole seasoning. Spread the Sweet Potato Crust on top of the fish. In a hot cast iron skillet, add about half the butter (or bacon drippings), and the fish, crust side up. Place the skillet on the highest shelf of your oven set to broil. When fish is done, crust should be nicely browned. Sauté spinach in butter (or bacon drippings) and season lightly with Creole seasoning, salt and pepper. Drain spinach and put in center of plate, place crusted catfish on top allowing the spinach to be seen on either side of the fish. Drizzle the Andouille cream sauce over and around the fish and spinach. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Steps:

• Wipe the whitefish fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine the mustard, garlic, lemon juice, safflower oil and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fillets and let sit for an hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thin, using a food processor if you like. Arrange them in a shallow baking dish that will hold the fillets comfortably in one layer. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and dot with butter. You may need to make two layers or more of potato.
• Add the onion and half of the creme fraiche, spreading it over the potatoes, just enough to moisten. Sprinkle with paprika, cover and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and spread the fillets over the top. Pour the rest of the cream evenly over the fillets. Bake, uncovered, until the fish flakes with a fork, and the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
