Fried Catfish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt (if using), and pepper. Dredge catfish fillets in cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess.

Lightly coat a large ovenproof skillet with cooking spray. Add olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the catfish and saute for about 3 minutes per side, turning once, until catfish starts to brown.

Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Serve at once.
