I'm not a big fish lover, so any concoction that has me loving fish is a keeper in my books. This combination of flavors just works for me. It's wonderful served with a nice buttery herb rice pilaf and corn muffins with butter and honey! —Kelly Williams, Forked River, New Jersey
Ingredients:
4 catfish fillets (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
1/3 cup dijon mustard
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
4 cups honey mustard miniature pretzels, coarsely crushed
oil for frying
lemon slices, optional
Directions:
1. Sprinkle catfish with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs, mustard and milk in a shallow bowl. Place flour and pretzels in separate shallow bowls. Coat fillets with flour, then dip in egg mixture and coat with pretzels.
