Oven Fried Catfish
Adapted from cooking light. We love fried catfish but since deep frying isn't a healthy way to cook (and i hate doing it anyway), i have been looking for an oven-cooked alternative. Here is one that we liked. Serving size--1 fillet; 296 calories, 8.8 g fat, 17.7 g carb, 1.1 g fiber, 99 mg cholesterol. Marinate time is 30 minutes.
Steps
Add the first 3 ingredients to a heavy duty zip-lock bag.
Seal , shake around to coat the fillets , and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Take the fillets out of the bag.
Pat dry with paper towels and discard the marinade.
In a shallow dish such as a pie plate , combine the cornmeal , cornstarch , and salt / pepper.
Dredge the fillets in the cornmeal mixture.
Lightly coat the fillets with cooking spray.
Put the fillets on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
Bake in a 450 oven for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
