Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 3/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne

• 4 large crusty rolls, split

• 3/4 cup cornmeal

• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

• 2 pounds catfish fillets

• 2 eggs, beaten to mix

• 1/4 cup cooking oil

• 3 cups tender greens, such as spinach or leaf lettuce (about 2 ounces)

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper, and the cayenne. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the rolls.

• In a shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal with the salt, thyme, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Dip the fillets into the beaten eggs and then into the seasoned cornmeal. Shake off the excess cornmeal.

• In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the cornmeal-coated fish and fry, turning once, until golden on the outside and just done in the center, about 4 minutes per side for 3/4-inch-thick fillets. Drain the fish on paper towels. Sandwich the catfish and greens in the rolls.

• Fish Alternatives: Substitute moderately firm, lean fillets for the catfish. Scrod, rockfish, ocean perch, haddock or tilefish are good options.

• Wine Recommendation: Choose a gamay from California or a Beaujolais from France, which is also made from the gamay grape. Chill the wine slightly for maximum enjoyment.
