How to Store the Low-Carb Pan-Fried Catfish with Cajun Seasoning
To store low-carb pan-fried catfish with Cajun seasoning, you should follow these simple steps:
- Let the pan-fried catfish cool to room temperature before storing it. This will prevent condensation from forming inside the container.
- Transfer the catfish to an airtight container with a lid. Glass or plastic containers with tight-fitting lids work well for this purpose.
- Sprinkle any remaining Cajun seasoning over the top of the catfish in the container.
- Seal the container tightly and label it with the date of preparation.
- Store the container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
You can reheat the catfish in the microwave or oven when ready to eat the leftovers. To reheat in the microwave, place the fish on a microwave-safe plate, cover it with a damp paper towel, and microwave it on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated. To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), place the catfish in an oven-safe dish, and bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
Note: Pan-fried catfish is best served immediately after cooking for optimal texture, so reheating should be done carefully to avoid overcooking and making it challenging.
