Worthy of a Special Occasion

Purchase pre-made catfish nuggets to shorten the prep time for this fast recipe even further. Serve with a side of sweet potato chips.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2  tablespoons  fat-free milk
  • 1  pound  catfish fillets, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  cup  yellow cornmeal
  • 1  tablespoon  Cajun seasoning (such as McCormick)
  • 2  teaspoons  vegetable oil
  • 1  tablespoon  white wine vinegar
  • 2  tablespoons  fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1  tablespoon  fat-free sour cream
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  sugar
  • Dash of crushed red pepper
  • 2  cups  bagged broccoli coleslaw
  • 4  (2 1/2-ounce) hoagie rolls with sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

Combine milk and catfish in a large bowl, tossing gently to coat. Remove fish from bowl; shake off excess milk. Sprinkle fish with salt. Combine cornmeal and Cajun seasoning in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add fish to bag. Seal and shake to coat.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

While fish cooks, combine vinegar and next 4 ingredients (vinegar through pepper) in a medium bowl. Add broccoli coleslaw; toss well to coat. Spoon 1/2 cup slaw mixture onto bottom half of each roll. Arrange fish evenly over each serving, and top with top halves of rolls.

This made a fantastic lunch! My only changes were to use a sourdough baquette and to add a minced jalapeno and red onion to the slaw. I served these with some red-skinned potatoes and iced tea.08/02/08
