Texas Roadhouse Fried Catfish [0000546]

Ingredients:

4 catfish fillets
1 cup gluten-free cornmeal
1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
2 large eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.

In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.

Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels.

Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches 350-375°F (175-190°C).

Dip each catfish fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Coat the catfish fillet in the gluten-free breading mixture, pressing the mixture onto the fillet to adhere well.

Carefully place the breaded catfish fillets into the hot oil. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to fry them in batches.

Fry the catfish fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through. The internal temperature of the catfish should reach 145°F (63°C).

Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried catfish from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve your gluten-free Texas Roadhouse Fried Catfish with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside coleslaw and hushpuppies.

Enjoy your homemade gluten-free fried catfish, reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse!
