Instructions

Cajun Catfish

  1. Combine the cornmeal and Cajun seasoning in a gallon size ziploc bag.
  2. Dry the catfish fillets off with paper towels. Then add them to the bag, 2 at a time, and shake to cover the fillets in the mixture. Repeat until all of the fillets are coated.
  3. Place the catfish fillets in the air fryer basket. Don't stack them, make sure air can circulate around the fillets.
  4. Cook on 390 F for 15 minutes, flipping the fillets half way through.
  5. To brown the fillets up nicely increase the temperature to 400 F and cook for 5 more minutes.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges and spicy tartar sauce.

Spicy Tartar Sauce

  1. Chop the dill pickles up into small pieces.
  2. Mix the mayonnaise, dill pickles, lemon and Cajun seasoning.
