Servings: 4 persons

1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup chopped green onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon chili paste (sambal oelek)
4 catfish fillets (7 ounces each)
kosher salt
fresh ground white pepper
all-purpose flour (for dredging)
corn oil or peanut oil (for frying)
tartar sauce

1
Combine the buttermilk, red onion, scallions, dill, garlic, zest, and chile paste in a baking dish. Whisk or stir well.
2
Lay the fillets in the marinade, making sure you've got them completely coated. Cover with plastic and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
3
Remove the fish from the marinade and season it with salt and pepper. Coat the fillets well with flour.
4
Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a heavy skillet (cast-iron is best) until very hot but not smoking. Fry the fish in batches for about 1 1/2 minutes on the first side, then turn and fry for another 45 seconds. The crust should be golden.
5
Drain on paper towels and serve with the tartar sauce.
