Ranchero Catfish
4 farm-raised catfish fillets
1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup salsa
Chopped, fresh cilantro (far garnish)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease
a baking sheet.
Cut each catfish fillet in half. Rinse in
cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Mix crushed tortilla chips and chili powder
in a shallow dish or on a piece of wax paper. Mix lime juice and
oil in another shallow dish. Dip catfish in the lime mixture, then
immediately dredge in the seasoned tortilla chip crumbs to coat.
Place on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle catfish with any remaining
tortilla crumbs. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp and golden
and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Warm salsa in a small saucepan over low heat.
Arrange catfish on serving plates and spoon salsa across the center.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve.
Serves 4.
