For a crisp texture similar to fried fish, coat the fillets with cornmeal and bake them at a high temperature. Try squeezing a lemon wedge over the fillets to enhance the flavor.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2½ tablespoons hot sauce, divided
- 4 (6-ounce) catfish fillets
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (such as Luzianne)
- 1⁄2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1⁄2 cup light sour cream
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Line a large baking sheet with foil; coat foil with cooking spray.
- Brush 1½ tablespoons hot sauce evenly on both sides of fillets; sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, and dredge in cornmeal, pressing gently. Place fillets on prepared pan. Coat fillets with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 14 minutes or until fillets flake easily when tested with a fork.
- While fillets bake, combine remaining 1 tablespoon hot sauce, sour cream, and salt in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Serve fillets with sauce and lemon wedges, if desired. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
