Recipe - Friday Night Catfish (Oven Fried) With Tangy Tartar Sauce

TARTAR SAUCE
One half cup Plain lowfat yogurt
1 tablespoon Minced sweet pickles
1 tablespoon Minced capers
One fourth teaspoon Minced fresh tarragon
One fourth teaspoon Dry mustard
One half teaspoon Salt (optional)
One fourth teaspoon Ground white pepper

CATFISH
One fourth cup Unbleached all purpose flour
One half teaspoon Salt (optional)
One half teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1 Egg white
One half teaspoon Hot sauce
One fourth cup Buttermilk
2 cup Corn bread crumbs
4 Catfish fillets; 5 ounces
each

In a small bowl, combine all tartar sauce ingredients; stir to mix well.
Cover and store in refrigerator overnight.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a piece of waxed paper, mix flour, salt,
and pepper. In small bowl, beat egg white, hot sauce, and buttermilk
together. On another piece of waxed paper, place

corn bread crumbs. Coat each fillet lightly with flour mixture and shake
off excess. Dip floured fillets into milk mixture and allow excess to drip
back into bowl. Press wet fillets into bread crumbs firmly, coating on both
sides. Place footed grid or cake rack large enough to hold fillets on
baking sheet. Arrange coated fillets fairly close together on rack and put
in oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until fish flakes when tested with a
fork. Serve with tartar sauce.
