Slow-Braised Fried Catfish with Creole Seasoning
Comforting, this Southern Comfort fried catfish with creole seasoning delivers balanced heat and a finish that lingers.
Method
Pat the fried catfish dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Sear in a hot pan with buttermilk until deeply browned on all sides, then set aside.
Soften garlic powder and green bell pepper in the same pot, scraping up the browned bits.
Return everything to the pot, add liquid to barely cover, and braise low and slow until fork-tender.
Reduce the sauce until glossy, adjust the seasoning, and finish with fresh herbs.
