Onion Crusted Catfish
This post is a paid partnership with U.S. Catfish. All thoughts & opinions are my own.
If you are looking for ways to impress your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, or supper club— LOOK NO FURTHER! The finished product is restaurant quality & it only takes about 20 minutes to make.
When cooking with catfish, I always use U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. In Lafayette, I buy Guidrys Brand because it is local to Acadiana too! Just look for the U.S. Farm-Raised seal on the box to be certain.
This recipe was taken from www.UScatfish.com , but I did modify a tad.
***In my opinion, you only need the french fried onions on one side. Let me know if you try it!

8 U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish Fillets

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup French Fried Onions, crushed
Directions
COMBINE flour, salt, cayenne pepper and lemon zest in shallow bowl.
DREDGE fillets in flour mixture and press in crushed fried onions, coating well. I only did one side!!!
BROWN fillets over medium-high heat serving side down for 3 to 4 minutes.
TURN fillets and cook 3 to 4 more minutes or until done.
WHILE fillets are cooking, make Pecan Sauce- see below.
PLACE fillets on plate and serve with sauce.
