Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 TBS all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp each: paprika and garlic powder
  • ½ tsp each: fine salt and fine black pepper
Instructions
  1. Whisk together all the ingredients. Without drying fish, press them gently into the fish fry mixture.
  2. Makes enough to cover about 1lb skinless boneless fish fillets (I used bluegill).
Fry Method:
  1. Pan fry in a shallow amount of oil over medium high heat until golden brown and crispy and the fish is cooked through. Alternatively you can deep fry the fish as well.
Bake Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place dredged fish on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray (I use my misto) and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque, 10 minutes for thin small fillets like bluegill, or 20 minutes for thicker, larger fillets like catfish.
