Oven-Fried Catfish with Dill Tartar Sauce Recipe

Serve thick-cut french fries and a mixed-greens, beet and onion salad alongside the fish. Finish with a purchased custard pie; tall glasses of mint iced tea would complement all of it nicely.

2 Servings: can be doubled.

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons (1/4) butter, melted

2 6-ounce catfish fillets (1/2 inch thick) or other white fish fillets (such

as orange roughy)

1/3 cup regular or low-fat mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dillweed

1 tablespoon drained capers

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 450°F.Place breadcrumbs and melted butter in separate shallow dishes. Cut each fish fillet crosswise in half. Season fish with salt and pepper. Dip fish into butter, then into breadcrumbs, coating completely; place fish on baking sheet. Bake fish until crisp, brown and just cooked through, about 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, stir mayonnaise, relish, dill and capers in small bowl to blend. Season tartar sauce with salt and pepper.

Transfer fish to plates. Serve fish with tartar sauce.
