Greg's Catfish LouisianeSource: Greg Mixson 4 catfish fillets (2 to 2 1/2 lbs) 1/4 tsp sea salt (table salt would do) 1/4 tsp pepper 1 tsp JGM mix 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 cup milk 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Vegetable oil (Canola oil also works) 1 (14 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp white wine vinegar Sprinkle fillets with salt, pepper, and JGM mix. Combine egg and milk in a shallow bowl, mixing well. Dip fillets in milk mixture and dredge in flour. Pour oil to depth of 2 inches into a large cast iron skillet, or dutch oven; heat to 350 degrees. Fry fillets in 2 batches in hot oil 5 minutes or until golden, turning to brown both sides. Drain on paper towels. Remove to a serving platter, and keep warm. Cook artichoke hearts and mushrooms in butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring gently, until mushrooms are tender. Add almonds and remaining 3 ingredients; cook one minute.
