Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 medium-sized catfish fillets (about 1 to 1-1/4 lbs)
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1-1/2 cups crushed salt and vinegar potato chips (about 1/2 of a 9-ounce bag)
  • 1 cup panko crumbs
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 3/4 cup store-bought chili sauce (we like Heinz)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons to 1-1/2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Prepare the cocktail sauce by placing the chili sauce in a small bowl. Stir in the lemon juice and add horseradish to taste. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Spread the flour on a sheet of wax paper and lightly dredge each catfish fillet, shaking off any excess.
  • Beat the egg and milk together in a shallow dish.
  • Combine the crushed chips and panko on a sheet of wax paper.
  • Dip the floured catfish fillets in the egg mixture, then coat with crumbs, gently pressing the mixture onto the fish to be sure it adheres well.
  • Arrange the fillets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Plate the fillets, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and serve with the cocktail sauce.
