List of Ingredients
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
4 U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets
1/4 cup vegetable oil Recipe
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spread pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Grind 1/4 cup of the pine nuts and reserve remaining for garnish.
3. Mix ground pine nuts, cornmeal, flour, salt, cayenne pepper and cumin in a shallow dish or on a piece of wax paper. Dredge catfish fillets in the pine nut mixture. Set aside on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry catfish fillets, two at a time, in the hot oil for 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle fillets with whole pine nuts and serve.
