Introduction

This is a simple version of a favorite in our house. I don't add too much salt while cooking. It's better to add salt after then have it too salty! And this is a lot of pepper, if you don't like that kind a kick, just reduce it some. This is a simple version of a favorite in our house. I don't add too much salt while cooking.

Ingredients

*Flour, white, .5 cup

fresh catfish (4 oz), 4 serving

*Canola Oil, 1 tbsp

*Japanese Breadcrumbs - Panko (1 cup), .5 serving

Pepper, red or cayenne, .5 tbsp

Pepper, black, .5 tbsp

Salt, 1 dash

Milk, nonfat, .5 cup

Directions

Mix 1/2 the flour ,panko, peppers, and salt on a plate. Put 1/2 flour plain on another plate. Pour milk in small bowl. Cut fish filets into 2 oz portions. Roll fish in flour, then dunk fish in milk and then roll in flour/panko mixture. The three layers are what makes it crispy. Heat oil in pan over high (may need to turn down if your pan gets to hot) Place fish in pan. Turn over after about 2 minutes. Cook until fish is just opaque and flakes easily. We serve this with Alexia fries, and a salad.
