Southern Cornmeal-Crusted Catfish With Corn Relish
Makes 4 servings
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is now the #1 farmed fish in the country.
Production is concentrated in four states Alabama, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and Mississippi -- where the fish are raised under strict
standards When purchasing catfish, look for the "U.S. Farm-Raised"
label to be sure that it's all-American, fresh, safe, and wholesome.
1/4 cup buttermilk or plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
4 (about 6 ounces each) U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Corn relish from a jar (or homemade corn relish) for garnish
Stir together the buttermilk or yogurt and hot sauce; brush on the
catfish and marinate for 10 minutes.
Pour the cornmeal into a shallow bowl. Press both sides of the
catfish fillets into the cornmeal to lightly coat. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper.
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, cook the catfish for about
3 minutes per side, turning only once, until golden and crisp.
Top each serving with corn relish.

Green Chile Catfish
1 or 2 catfish filets
1 or 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 or 2 tablespoons butter
3 or 4 garlic cloves, finely diced
1 medium white or yellow onion, cut in half, thinly sliced
2 or 3 poblano or Anaheim green chiles, cut in half, de-seeded, and
sliced thin
1 or 2 jalapeño peppers, cut in half, and sliced thin
Liquid to coat the pan and cover the vegetables (a combination of
chicken broth and white wine is good
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron is great) to medium heat and coat
with olive oil. Sauté garlic, onions and chilies until soft, about
five minutes. Add butter, and allow vegetables to cook slowly, on
low, slightly caramelizing. (ten minutes, or so.) Add liquid to cover
vegetables at the end of this cooking time.
Salt and pepper both sides of fish. Add to pan, fleshy side down.
Place skillet in oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes (or longer if necessary)
until fish is cooked through, but not overdone.
The caramelization of the vegetables mellows the chiles, allowing the
wonderful flavor to come through without an overwhelming "heat."
This is delicious served over rice, smothered in the sauce made by
the chiles and onions.
Adjust the number of filets and chiles according to the number of
servings desired. One filet and two chiles will serve one. Two filets
and three chiles will serve two.
