Pretzel Catfish


 Most people think this is a really good recipe for fish. Becky thinks this is a tolerable way to ingest fish. With that resounding recommendation, we hope you enjoy Pretzel Catfish!

Ingredients:

- 1 lb fresh or frozen catfish fillets, about 1/2 inch thick
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup coarsely crushed pretzels (about 2 cups pretzels)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- thin lemon slices, if desired

Directions:

Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 4 serving-size pieces, if necessary.

In a shallow bowl, combine the egg, mustard, milk, and pepper. Beat with a whisk or fork until smooth.

Place flour in another shallow bowl.

Place the crushed pretzels in a third shallow bowl.

Coat both sides of the fillets with flour, then dip fillets into the mustard mixture, then coat with pretzels.

In a large skillet, cook the fish in hot oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Reduce heat as necessary to prevent burning.

If desired, serve with lemon slices.
