Crispy Cajun Snapper Fillets
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets, bones removed
  • 1 cup flour
  • vegetable oil as needed
Instructions
1
Combine bread crumbs, Cajun seasoning, and salt in a bowl for a crunchy coating. In another bowl, whisk eggs with buttermilk to create a moist and tangy mixture. Dip the fish first into flour, gently shaking off any excess, before coating it evenly with the egg mixture. Finally, press the fish into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it's fully coated. Set the coated fish aside for a moment.
2
Heat about 1/8 inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily and develops a nice golden brown color.
