👨‍🍳 Instructions

In a mixing bowl, stir together cornmeal, cayenne pepper, paprika and onion powder.

Pour mixture onto a large sheet of waxed paper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Pour milk into a medium bowl.

Dip catfish filets into milk and hold up and let the milk drip off.

Roll the milk-soaked filet in the cornmeal mixture until completely covered.

Fry the garlic in the hot skillet, but do not burn.

Add the coated catfish filets and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, sprinkling salt on the fish after each turn.

Cook until golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork.

Drain on paper towels.
