I love fish and grits, perferrably fried fish, but hate to think about the fat and hate more for my kitchen to smell like grease for days. I have a recipe for oven fried fish that is great. Paired with my spicy grits, this is a comforting meal.
Fish:
fish of your choice (I have used catfish, tilapia, cod, mahi mahi)
1 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs beaten with 2 tbs water
3/4 cup bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup panko
3 tbs blackening seasoning
salt and pepper
oil
Turn oven on 400 degrees and put rack at top level.
3 shallow dishes
1. mix flour and 1 tbs seasoning
2. mix beaten eggs and 1 tbs seasoning
3. mix bread crums, parmesean cheese, panko, and 1 tbs seasoning
Brush baking sheet with oil generously and put in oven to heat.
Dry fish well, dip in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg, shake, dip in bread crumb mixture and lay onto hot baking sheet. Repeat with each fish and then place on 5 minutes, then flip each piece and put back in oven for 5 more minutes.
If you don't mind frying... use this preparation and just put in a shallow fry.
Grits:
2 cups quick grits
6 cups water
2 cups whole milk
1 can rotel
3 handfuls shredded cheddar.
1 tbs butter
1tsp pepper
1tbs salt
Bring water and milk to a boil. Add grits, salt, pepper, and rotel and return to a boil. Reduce to low, cover and let simmer 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Add butter and let simmer 5 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper. If to thick add more milk. Add cheese and after 5 minutes turn heat off then serve.
Grits should be creamy and tender.
*Tip* when you first add the grits to the water, use a whisk to make sure you have no clumps.
