LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Every Lenten season comes with the question of what to prepare for meals on Friday. No more turkey sandwiches for the office. Can't have bacon and eggs for breakfast. Don't even think about ordering a pepperoni pizza.
So what can you do?
Most people turn to soggy, deep-fried and, if we're being honest, disgusting Fish-fil-a's from fast food restaurants or grocery stores.How about trying something a little more fresh, a little less fried and a lot more delicious?

Pecan-crusted tilapia ( Randy Mayor).
This quick-and-easy recipe requires:
- 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 (6-ounce) tilapia or snapper fillets
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
- 4 lemon wedges
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a shallow dish. Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a medium bowl; place flour in a shallow dish.Â
- Dredge 1 fillet in flour.Â
- Dip in buttermilk mixture; dredge in breadcrumb mixture.Â
- Repeat procedure with remaining fillets, flour, buttermilk mixture, and breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 fillets; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and fillets. Serve with lemon wedges.

Cajun Catfish cakes (Sandra Lee/Food Network).
All you need for this delicious recipe are:
- 4 catfish fillets, about 6 ounces each
- 1 tbsp. plus 1 extra on the side of Cajun seasoning
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup crackers, crushed
- 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon of spicy brown mustard
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons of hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- Season the catfish on both sides with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush the grill pan with some of the canola oil and grill the catfish until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and let cool.
- Into a large bowl, add the cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, mustard, and egg. Shred the fish with a fork and add to the bowl. Fold everything together. Form into 8 small cakes and set them aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining canola oil. When it is hot, add the catfish cakes and cook until browned on each side, 4 to 5 minutes total. Drain on brown paper.
- While the cakes are cooking, make the remoulade: In a bowl, stir together the remaining 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, and garlic. (Reserve 1/2 cup remoulade for Round 2 Recipe Cajun Quesadillas.)
- Serve the catfish cakes with the remoulade.
