Oven Fried Catfish-Easy and Healthy

Oven Fried Catfish

Ingredients
1/2 cup light beer
1/2 cup hot sauce
4 (6-ounce) farm-raised catfish fillets
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray
Preparation
Combine first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes. Remove fish from bag; pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade.
Preheat oven to 450°.
Combine cornmeal, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge fish in cornmeal mixture.
Lightly coat fish with cooking spray. Place fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

This is one of my favorite ways to cook fish. It is so good and is really easy. I actually put the beer and hot sauce in a big Ziploc along with the fish before I leave for work. I have also tried it with other types of fish such as tilapia.

I am also cooking an acorn squash, boiling baby carrots and opening a can of green beans to ensure everyone eats a veggie tonight.
Enjoy!
