How to Make Catfish Sandwiches With Creole Mayonnaise

  1. Prepare the Creole Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, shallots, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
  3. Season the catfish fillets evenly with Cajun seasoning.
  4. Add the fillets to the preheated pan and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While the fish cooks, place the split buns, cut-side down, in the pan during the last minute of cooking time to toast lightly.
  6. Remove the fish and buns from the pan.
  7. Assemble the sandwiches: Place lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each bun.
  8. Top each with a catfish fillet and a tomato slice.
  9. Spoon 1/2 tablespoon (or to taste) of the sweet pickle relish onto each tomato slice.
  10. Spread 1 tablespoon of the Creole mayonnaise mixture onto the cut side of each top bun.
  11. Place the top buns on the sandwiches and serve immediately.
