Ingredients
- 6 Catfish Filets
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 3/4 cup Cornmeal
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- Olive Oil Spray for air frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Catfish. Start by patting the catfish fillets dry with paper towels. Dry fillets will result in a crispier texture. In a bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Dip in Buttermilk. Pour the buttermilk into another bowl. Dip each catfish fillet into the buttermilk, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Coat the Fillets. Transfer the fillets to the bowl with the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating on all sides.
- Air Fry to Perfection. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the coated catfish fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Lightly spray the fillets with olive oil spray.
- Cook the Catfish. Cook the fillets for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The fillets should be golden brown and crispy.
- Serve. Transfer the cooked catfish fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
