Pecan-Crusted Catfish



This has to be my favorite way to prepare catfish.

This is from Martha Stewarts Cookbook.



Ingredients :

4 skinless catfish fillets

4 tbsp vegetable oil

1/3 cup yellow cornmeal

1/4 cup pecans

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper



Directions :

Grind cornmeal and pecans with salt and pepper in a food processor until nuts are finely ground.

Transfer to a large shallow container.

Dredge catfish in cornmeal mixture, patting it on to coat completely.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook 2 fish fillets until golden brown and firm to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Transfer to a plate; sprinkle with salt, and cover to keep warm
