Tartar Sauce-Battered Fried Fish
Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise (such as
Duke’s)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
2 Tbsp. chopped dill pickles
1 Tbsp. chopped capers
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
3/4 tsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder, divided
1 tsp. onion powder, divided
Canola oil
2/3 cup stone-ground white rice
flour (such as Bob’s Red Mill)
2/3 cup ice-cold tap water
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
6 (5- to 6-oz. each) skinless
catfish fillets (about 2 lb. total)
Lemon wedges
Directions
Stir together mayonnaise, dill, pickles,
capers, Dijon mustard, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon each
garlic powder and onion powder in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
Add oil to a Dutch oven, filling to a depth
of 2 inches. Heat over medium until oil reaches 360°F. Whisk together rice
flour, water, remaining 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder, 3
tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture, and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a medium
bowl. Working in 3 batches, dip catfish pieces, 1 at a time, into batter.
Remove each piece from batter, letting excess drain into bowl. Add 2 catfish
pieces, 1 at a time, to hot oil; cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown
and crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer fried fish to a wire rack set over a
rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter and catfish.
Sprinkle fried fish with remaining 1/2
teaspoon salt. Serve with lemon wedges and remaining mayonnaise mixture.
