Cajun Catfish Sandwiches

Cajun Catfish Sandwiches
Serve this Cajun-style sandwich with iced tea and a fresh fruit salad
for a light summertime meal.
White of 1 large egg
1 teaspoon water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt-free Cajun or Creole seasoning blend
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 catfish fillets (about 4 ounces each)
Vegetable oil spray (olive oil preferred)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups packaged shredded coleslaw mix or 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage
and 1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 tablespoons fat-free or light Italian or honey Dijon salad dressing
1 tablespoon fat-free or low-fat mayonnaise dressing
1/4 teaspoon salt-free Cajun or Creole seasoning blend
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
4 thick slices of a large tomato
In a shallow bowl, using a fork, beat the egg white and water. On a
large plate, combine the flour, cornmeal, 2 teaspoons seasoning
blend, and salt. Set the plate next to the bowl, assembly-line
fashion. Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Dip each
fillet in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture, turning and
patting to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour mixture. Heat a
large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with vegetable
oil spray. Pour the oil into the skillet and swirl to coat the
bottom. Cook the fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until it
flakes easily when tested with a fork. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl,
stir together the coleslaw mix, salad dressing, mayonnaise, and 1/4
teaspoon seasoning blend. Split and toast the hamburger buns. To
assemble, put each fillet on the bottom half of a bun. Spoon the
coleslaw mixture over the fish. Add the tomato. Top with the
remaining buns.
Cook's Tip on Cajun or Creole Seasoning Blend: Salt-free versions of
the zesty seasoning blend may be hard to find. If so, you can easily
make your own. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon each chili
powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You
can store the seasoning tightly covered at room temperature for about
6 months.
