Catfish Tacos image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 cup whole buttermilk
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 teaspoons chipotle powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound skinless catfish fillets, cut into strips
1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
Canola oil, for frying
Eight 6-inch yellow corn or flour tortillas
Limes, quartered, for garnish
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Sliced red onions, for garnish
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 dashes hot sauce
2 cups shredded red cabbage
2 cups shredded savoy or napa cabbage
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 rainbow carrots, grated
2 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • For the catfish: Whisk together the buttermilk, 1 tablespoon of the seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon of the chipotle and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the fish, cover and let soak, refrigerated, for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • For the fiesta slaw: While the fish is soaking, whisk together the mayonnaise, crema, lime juice, paprika, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Add the cabbages, cilantro, carrots and green onions and toss to coat.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour and remaining 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning and 1 teaspoon chipotle in a shallow dish or paper bag. Drain the catfish, shaking off any remaining marinade (discard the remaining marinade). Place 3 to 4 pieces of fish in the cornmeal mixture and shake/flip until they are coated. Remove the fish to a clean plate or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Add about 1 inch of canola oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and heat to about 375 degrees F.
  • Add the fish to the skillet a few pieces at a time. Fry on each side until golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining fish.
  • Toast the tortillas in a cast-iron skillet or over an open flame. Add 2 pieces of fish to each tortilla and top with the fiesta slaw. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro and red onions.

CAJUN BLACKENED CATFISH



Cajun Blackened Catfish image

This is a recipe that I obtained from a very good Cajun friend who is a native of Lafayette, Louisiana. His family adopted me (friendly) many years ago and we have swapped Cajun and Creole recipes through the years.

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Catfish

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
4 (4 ounce) catfish fillets, skinned
¾ cup unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, oregano, and thyme until thoroughly combined. Press the catfish fillets into the spice mixture to thoroughly coat.
  • Arrange a portable heat source outdoors, such as a butane burner or side burner of a gas grill. Melt butter in a glass or metal bowl. Light the burner, and place a large cast-iron skillet onto the burner over high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of melted butter into the skillet; set remaining 1/2 cup of butter aside.
  • When the butter in the skillet is smoking hot, lay the catfish fillets into the skillet. Cook until the spices are burned onto the fillets and the catfish is opaque and flaky inside, about 3 minutes per side. Don't breathe smoke from burning spices. To serve, pour remaining 1/2 cup of butter over the catfish.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
4 yellow corn tortillas
Two 8-ounce skinless American catfish fillets, split lengthwise down the center
1/4 cup Creole seasoning
1/2 cup peanut or canola oil
1/2 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 avocado, cut into 8 slices
1/4 cup store-bought thousand island dressing
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • For the ma and pa slaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, vinegar and sugar in a large bowl. Add the red and green cabbage and toss until thoroughly coated.
  • For the blackened catfish tacos: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the tortillas and warm 15 seconds per side; keep warm while you fry the catfish.
  • Coat one side of each piece of catfish with Creole seasoning. Put the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; when hot, add the catfish seasoned-side down and cook until blackened, about 5 minutes. Flip, and cook on the second side until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees F., about 5 more minutes.
  • Put 1 piece of catfish on each tortilla. Top with some slaw, onions and 2 slices of the avocado. Garnish each with a dollop of thousand island dressing and a few leaves of cilantro, if using. Serve immediately.

Categories     Mexican

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 1/2 lbs fish fillets (mahi, tilapia, salmon, etc.)
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 -8 corn tortillas (depending on size) or 6 -8 flour tortillas (depending on size)
1/2 red cabbage, sliced thin
1/4 green cabbage, sliced thin
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, juice of
1/2 teaspoon honey (more or less to taste)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 ripe avocado, pitted and skinned
1/4 cup cilantro leaf
1 lime, juice of (small)
1 jalapeno, chopped and seeded
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt, brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the mixture as evenly as possible over both sides of the fish fillets.
  • Combine all of the Avocado-Cilantro Sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until well-combined; set aside.
  • Combine all of the Slaw ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the fillets (a few at a time if you can't fit them all at once). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the outside is blackened and the fish flakes apart easily. Note: try not to move them around so as to achieve a blackening affect. Too much movement, also, encourages the spice mixture to stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Remove the fish from the heat, and if desired, warm the tortillas in the same skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Break up the cooked fillets into 2-3" pieces. Distribute the fish evenly between the tortillas and top with Slaw and Avocado-Cilantro Sauce. You may garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves and/or jalapeno, if desired.
