Cajun Style Fish and Grits

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend See our Guide to Spices
• 4 catfish fillets
• 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup yellow corn grits
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ½ cup green onion, chopped

Instructions:

1. Wash hands with soap and warm water.
2. Pat catfish fillets dry with a clean paper towel. Rub about ½ tablespoon of yellow mustard then Cajun seasoning blend on each side of the fillets and season to your liking. Wash hands after handling raw fish.
3. In a medium pot, add water and milk. Heat over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning blend. When the mixture starts to boil, slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, for 20-25 minutes or until thick and creamy.
4. While the grits cook, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add catfish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is golden brown.
5. Serve 1 cup of grits into each bowl or plate. Top with one catfish fillet.
6. Sprinkle with green onions.
