Jims Mild Spicy Catfish Recipe

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 6 (4 ounce) fillets catfish
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  1. Mix cornmeal, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper on a plate.
  2. Beat milk and eggs together in a bowl. Dip catfish fillets in milk mixture, then gently press fillets into cornmeal mixture, coating both sides. Shake off excess breading.
