🐟 Crispy Fried Catfish
📝 Ingredients:

* 4 catfish fillets

* 1 cup buttermilk

* 1 cup cornmeal

* ½ cup all-purpose flour

* 1 teaspoon paprika

* 1 teaspoon garlic powder

* 1 teaspoon onion powder

* ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

* Salt and black pepper (to taste)

* Vegetable oil (for frying)

* Lemon slices (for serving)

⸻

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Marinate the fish

Place the catfish fillets in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes (this makes them tender and flavorful).

2. Prepare the coating

In another bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat the fillets

Remove the fish from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each fillet in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly so it sticks well.

4. Heat the oil

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to about 350°F (175°C).

5. Fry the catfish

Carefully place the fillets in the hot oil. Fry for 3–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain and serve

Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon slices and your favorite dipping sauce.

🍟 Optional sides:

* French fries

My favorite way to make Brussels sprouts...marinated overnight! In a gallon size zip bag combine juice of 1 lemon, 1 T olive oil, pepper, paprika and garlic salt. Add in Brussels (cut in half or quartered), seal bag and toss around until well coated. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to roast, preheat oven to 400, place Brussels on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. Feel free to eat the entire pan, they are that good! 💚💚💚

Salisbury Steak & Gravy Plate

Start by mixing ground beef with a little salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire, then shape into thick oval patties. Sear them in a hot pan until browned on both sides, then set aside. In the same pan, cook sliced onions until soft, then stir in a little flour and pour in beef broth, letting it simmer into a rich, smooth gravy. Slide the patties back in and let them cook gently in the gravy until tender. On the side, mash boiled potatoes with butter and a splash of milk until creamy. Spoon the steaks and plenty of that thick gravy right over the mashed potatoes, then cut into one patty and watch the juices mix right into the mash.
