Not "Fried" Catfish

Okay y'all! I'm not a huge fan of catfish. Mainly because it's always fried...greasy...or blackened. And well I am not a fan of any of those. Too fatty...too soggy...too spicy. So I decided to give my new air fryer a try with a staple dish that is "usually" fried. I was sick of chicken, salmon, turkey and beef too. So....there was my motivation.

The air fryer I have, I scored at a discount store brand new! For $62!!

Ingredients

• 1lb Catfish (cut into strips)
• 1 cup Whole Wheat Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 tbsp Fresh Dill, (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp Egg Whites
• 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together mayo, mustard and egg whites. Add in fresh dill then place the catfish strips into the mixture, making sure they are all coated.
2. Put panko bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and seasoning into a freezer bag or plastic sack.
3. Add a few catfish strips into panko crumbs and shake them around to coat them. Repeat until all catfish have been coated. You may have a little left. But I didn't have much.
4. Spray air fryer pan with oil so fish doesn't stick.
5. Fry the catfish until it is crispy and brown. I set mine on 370 degrees for 20 min and flipped them over half way through. It may take more than 20 minutes depending on the size of your strips.
