Recipe of Crispy Fried Catfish

Ingredients:

• 4 catfish fillets
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup buttermilk
• vegetable oil for frying
• lemon wedges for serving
• fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

• Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

• In a shallow dish, pour the buttermilk over the catfish fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate in the buttermilk for about 15 minutes.

• In a separate dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Stir the dry ingredients together until well combined.

• Heat enough vegetable oil in your SENSARTE Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet to cover the bottom of the pan with about ½ inch of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.

• Remove the catfish fillets from the buttermilk and let any excess buttermilk drip off. Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture, pressing the coating gently onto the fish to ensure an even and crispy crust.

• Carefully place the coated catfish fillets in the hot oil. Fry the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

• Once the catfish fillets are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the fillets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

• Serve the crispy fried catfish with lemon wedges on the side and garnish with fresh parsley for added freshness. Enjoy!
