Fried Mustard Coated Fish
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, Emeril’s Food of Love Productions, 2008
- 1 ½ pounds catfish fillets, sliced on the diagonal into 1-inch strips
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Emeril’s Dijon Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Emeril’s Fish Rub
- 1 teaspoon Emeril’s Original Essence
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons red hot sauce
- 1 cup flour
- 2/3 cup cornmeal
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Favorite tartar sauce for serving, optional
Place the catfish in a nonreactive bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mustard, 1 tablespoon of the Fish Rub, Essence, garlic, and hot sauce and pour over the fish. Stir to thoroughly coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat a large saucepan with 4 inches of oil to 350 degrees F. Remove the fish from the refrigerator. Combine the flour, cornmeal, remaining tablespoon of Fish Rub and salt in a resealable plastic food storage bag and shake to blend. Using a fork, remove the fish fingers, a few pieces at a time, from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to fall from the fish. Transfer the fish to the seasoned cornmeal mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining fish. Fry the fish, in batches if necessary and turning to promote even browning, until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-lined plate to rest briefly before serving hot with your favorite tartar sauce. Yield: 4 servings Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, Emeril’s Food of Love Productions, 2008
- 1/3 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Emeril’s Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
In a 4 quart saucepan, combine the white wine and shallots. Cook until almost all of the wine has evaporated. Add the heavy cream and slowly heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the cream to reduce by half, about 35 to 40 minutes. Watch carefully as the cream will have a tendency to boil over. Remove the pan from the heat and add the mustard, herbs, salt and pepper. Serve over chicken, fish, or pork. Yield: 1 ½ cups about 6 servings
