I know technically it is Monday and I went back and forth on whether or not to write one this week since I didn't have pictures to go with it, but decided I would anyways :)
One of my favorite things to eat is fried catfish. I know the word fried isn't a good term but when you use an air fryer it's ok :) About a month ago I was really craving catfish. I knew I couldn't go to a place and order it and it be an ok point value so I decided to try it out myself at my house making a few adjustments.
I bought 2 filet's from H-E-B fish counter. Together it was about a pound. I know they are farm raised and honestly I think farm raised tastes better so I was able to search farm raised catfish in the Weight Watchers ap and found out they are zero points! That made the beginning of this recipe that much better when I found that out. The first time I made this I used a ground corn meal from Bob's Red Mill. It was ok, but it was a bit more course than I wanted or like. The 2nd time I made this (and how I'll continue to make it) I used Zatarain's Fish Fry.
For 2 tablespoons it's only 60 calories and 3 points. Because it's a fine seasoning mix the 2 tablespoons is a good amount and you end up having some left over. I use a paper plate and measure out the 2 tablespoons. And yes, I measure out separately 2 more tablespoons for the second fillet. In traditional fried catfish I know that milk is used to hold the cornmeal on the catfish, but I don't use it and it turns out just as good! I use the Pam Olive Oil spray.
Once the timer has gone off on your air fyer, take the fish out and serve. I have made my own tarter sauce with light mayo but honestly I found the H-E-B tarter sauce (located with the mayo) and it's just as good and way easier. The serving size is 2 tablespoons for 2 points but I found that 1 tablespoon is enough for me.
I hope you try this out and enjoy it as much as we do!
