¼ cup pickled pepperoncini peppers, chopped

¼ cup diced red onion

⅓ cup mayonnaise

½ lemon, juiced

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated garlic

½ teaspoon granulated onion

¼ teaspoon lemon pepper

Catfish:

8 (3 ounce) fillets catfish

2 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Tabasco®)

½ cup Cajun seasoning

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups cornmeal

2 cups bread crumbs

1 tablespoon granulated garlic

1 tablespoon granulated onion

1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup olive oil for frying

Assembly:

4 Italian-style hoagie buns, split lengthwise

1 cup remoulade-style sandwich spread (see footnote for recipe link)

1 lemon, cut into wedges

1 cup cherry tomato halves

½ cup banana pepper rings

Directions

Combine coleslaw mix, pepperoncini peppers, red onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion, and lemon pepper in a large bowl. Toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Place catfish fillets in a large shallow baking dish. Sprinkle hot sauce over the top and turn the fillets to coat.

Combine Cajun seasoning, flour, cornmeal, bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon granulated garlic, 1 tablespoon granulated onion, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large brown paper bag. Add catfish fillets and shake gently to coat fillets thoroughly.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry breaded catfish fillets until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Place on paper towel-lined paper plates to drain.

Spread each hoagie bun with 1/4 cup remoulade-style spread. Place 2 catfish fillets on top and top with 1 to 2 cups coleslaw. Garnish with lemon wedge, cherry tomato halves, and banana pepper rings.
