Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fill a cast iron skillet or large heavy bottom skillet halfway with oil and heat.
  • Season buttermilk and flour with 2 tsp of Cajun seasoning. Season each fish fillet evenly on both sides with the remaining seasoning. Dredge fish in buttermilk, then flour.
  • Make sure to let any excess buttermilk drain off before dipping it into the flour and shake off any excess flour.
  • Fry in hot oil for 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish (thickness of fish may reduce or increase the time.) If doing fish in batches, take fish out and place fish on a foiled lined baking sheet in a 200˚F oven.
  • Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon juice, lemon wedges, hot sauce, and your favourite dipping sauces.

Pair with a dry light Sauvignon Blanc
