Buttermilk Fish Fillets Recipes

BUTTERMILK FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• 1. Place fish in a 9- x 13-inch baking dish and pour buttermilk over fish, completely coating it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes, turning once. In a shallow baking dish, combine biscuit baking mix, salt, and ground red pepper; mix well. Remove fish from buttermilk, discarding excess buttermilk, and place in biscuit baking mixture, coating evenly on both sides. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Place a few pieces of fish in skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden and fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove to a paper towel-lined platter, cover with foil, and repeat with remaining fish, adding more oil if needed. Serve immediately.

OVEN FRIED BUTTERMILK HALIBUT

Steps:

• Set a large resealable plastic bag in a bowl. Pour in the buttermilk and salt. Add the halibut fillets and close the bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Place half of the crackers and half of the Greek seasoning into a blender. Cover and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Pour into a shallow bowl, and repeat with remaining crackers and Greek seasoning. Whisk eggs with water in a separate bowl.
• Remove halibut from the bag and discard the marinade. Dip fish into the egg and then in the crumbs until evenly coated. Place coated fillets into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Do not let them touch, as they will weld themselves together. Drizzle the butter on top of the fish.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 45 minutes.

SOUTHERN FRIED CATFISH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix buttermilk, water, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into a flat pan large enough to hold the fillets. Spread fish in one layer over bottom of pan, turning to coat each side, and set aside to marinate.
• In a 2 gallon resealable plastic bag, combine the cornmeal, flour, and seafood seasoning. Add fish to mixture, a few fillets at a time, and tumble gently to coat evenly.
• Heat oil in deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• Deep fry fillets until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Avoid overcrowding so fillets have room to brown properly. Fish should be slightly crisp outside, and moist and flaky inside. Drain on paper towels.

SEASONED CRUNCHY COD FILLETS IN THE AIR FRYER

Steps:

• Create a foil sling in the bottom of a basket-style air fryer, going across the bottom of the basket and up the sides, about 3 inches. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the foil sling, to match the holes in the basket. Spray the sling with avocado oil. If using a shelf-style air fryer, omit this step.
• Combine panko crumbs, yellow cornmeal, seasoning blend, paprika, and salt in a small bowl. Pour buttermilk into a second bowl.
• Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels and lightly dust both sides with flour. Dip each flour-coated fillet into the buttermilk, then turn in the crumb mixture. Pat the crumb mixture on all sides of each fillet and place on the foil sling, if using. Place on the rack of a shelf-style air fryer. Spray each cod fillet with avocado oil.
• Cook in the air fryer until the fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes. Use the sling to remove cod fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately.

FISH POACHED IN BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium low heat. Add shallot and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, thyme and garlic. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add bread, and stir to combine. Add stock and simmer until bread has soaked up the liquid. Season with salt and pepper, stir in chives. Keep warm.
• Place olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter into a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add spinach and toss, using tongs, to wilt the leaves. Add sugar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• Season both sides of fish with salt and cayenne pepper. In a saute pan large enough for fish to fit in a single layer, combine fish, buttermilk and dill. Cover and place over medium heat. When buttermilk begins to simmer, cook for 2 minutes. Turn fish and cook for about another minute. Fish is done when firm to the touch.
• Remove fish from pan and keep warm. In a blender or with an immersion blender, whirl buttermilk with remaining 4 tablespoons butter. When it is re-emulsified, season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
• In four shallow bowls, arrange spinach. Place fish on top, pour buttermilk sauce over each, topping it off with a spoonful of stuffing. Serve.

UNBELIEVABLE FISH BATTER

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, milk, water, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until smooth.

PATRICK'S EASY WALLEYE

Steps:

• Place the fillets in a bowl with the buttermilk. Stir to coat the fillets and allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.
• In another bowl, blend the egg and soda water together with a whisk.
• Pour the buttermilk off the fillets and replace with the egg/water mix. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes then drain off the liquid.
• In a medium skillet, over medium heat, add the butter and the canola oil.
• Dredge a couple of the wet fillets in the bread crumbs and lay them into the hot oil. Don't crowd the fillets -- you may wish to fry them in two batches. (If you have to use a little more butter and oil, that's okay).
• Fry each fillet 3-4 minutes per side, turning them one time only, until the coating is golden brown.
• When the filets are done frying, lay them out on a couple of paper towels to drain and salt them right away. The thickest part of each fillet should be white and flakey inside.
• Serve on sandwich buns with tartar sauce or, plated up with home made french fries.

BUTTERMILK-AND-CORNMEAL PAN-FRIED CATFISH

Steps:

• Place buttermilk in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl combine cornmeal, salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning.
• Heat about 1/8 inch of oil in large skillet over medium heat until a pinch of cornmeal mixture sizzles quickly.
• Dip catfish fillets into buttermilk to coat on both sides. Drain excess and dredge fillets in cornmeal mixture, coating both sides. Shake off excess.
• Fry fillets in oil, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and crisp.
