How to Make Cajun Fish Croquette

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornmeal, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In another shallow bowl, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  4. Dip each fish fillet (about 1 pound total) into the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Flip to coat both sides evenly.
  5. Place the coated fish fillets on a greased baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the croquettes are lightly golden.
  7. Switch to the broiler and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the croquettes are crispy and golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately with the remaining mayonnaise mixture for dipping.
