Calories: 296, fat: 8.8 grams

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup light beer (I used non-alcoholic beer because we had some kicking around from Christmas)
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 4 (6-ounce) farm-raised catfish fillets or other firm white fish
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (I was out so I used flour - it was fine)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray
Directions
  1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes. Remove fish from bag; pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade.
  2. Preheat oven to 450°.Combine cornmeal, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge fish in cornmeal mixture.
  3. Lightly coat fish with cooking spray. Place fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
