Cajun Crusted Snapper: A Quick and Delicious Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups dry bread crumbs
• 1.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• salt to taste
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 1.5 pounds red snapper fillets, bones removed
• vegetable oil as needed

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Cajun seasoning, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs. Place the flour in a third bowl. Dredge one snapper fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Press the fillet into the bread crumb mixture to fully coat both sides. Place the breaded snapper fillet on a plate, making sure they are not stacked. Repeat this process with the remaining snapper fillets.
2. Heat approximately 1/8 inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully lower the snapper fillets into the hot oil, working in batches if needed. Cook the fillets until they easily flake when tested with a fork and are nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
