Healthy Fish Recipes - Fried Catfish Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup finely ground almonds

Method:

1. On a plate, combine the almonds, hazelnuts, protein powder, and seasoned salt, stirring well.

2. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with the water. Wash and dry the catfish fillets. Dip each one in the egg, then in the nut mixture, pressing it well into the fish.

3. If you have a deep fryer, by all means use it to fry your fish until it's a deep gold color (7 to 10 minutes). If you don't, use a large, heavy skillet.

4. Pour 1 inch of oil into the skillet, and put it over medium-high heat. Let it heat for at least 5 minutes; you don't want to put your fish in until the oil is up to temperature.
