Catfish Po' Boys

(Yield: 4 portions)

1 egg, beaten

1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs

4 U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets (about 6 ounces each)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

4 4-inch long rolls, split or 8 slices of bread

1/2 cup prepared pesto sauce

8 jarred roasted red pepper halves

8 lettuce leaves

8 thin slices provolone cheese

In separate shallow bowls, place egg and breadcrumbs. Dip each catfish fillet into egg, then coat in breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fillets, a few at a time, until golden brown and opaque in the center, 3 to 4 minutes on each side; drain on paper towels. Spread cut sides of the rolls with pesto. On bottoms of rolls, layer roasted red peppers, lettuce leaves and provolone; top each with a catfish fillet. Place roll tops on fish.
