Sesame Dill Fish

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 tsp. dill weed
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 pound catfish, or white fish fillets
1/4 cup canola oil

In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, sesame seeds, dill and salt. Place yogurt in another bowl and stir until smooth. Dip fillets in yogurt, shake off any excess, then dip in crumb mixture. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Fry fillets over medium heat until brown, then turn over and cook 3-4 minutes longer. May serve with lemon slices and tartar sauce, which can be made with a small amount of mayonnaise and sweet relish. Fish will serve 4 people.

*The thickness of the fish will determine the amount of time needed to cook. Add a few more drops of oil if needed. Tilapia fish is good and very mild.

Helps: The way to tell a cooking apple from an eating apple. A cooking apple is smooth on the bottom, whereas an eating apple has ridges, such as a Delicious apple. The eating apple does not go well when cooked, but a baking or cooking apple can be eaten raw. There are over 2,000 varieties of apples.
