For the tartar sauce:  
Put the egg, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, 1 tablespoon of the parsley, and  
green onions in a food processor and puree for 15 seconds. With the  
processor running, slowly pour the oil through the feed tube in a steady  
stream. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit for 1 hour in the  
refrigerator before using. Best if used within 24 hours.  
For the cornbread salad:  
In a large skillet, over medium heat, render the bacon until crispy, about 6  
to 8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Add the cornbread to the  
bacon fat and fry until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly.  
Remove and drain on paper towels. In a mixing bowl, combine the crispy  
bacon, cornbread, tomatoes and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Mix  
well.  
For the catfish:  
Season the fillets with Creole seasoning. In a shallow bowl, combine the  
flour and masa. Season with Creole seasoning. Dip fillets in flour mixture.  
In another skillet, heat the remaining oil. When the oil is hot, pan−fry for  
4
to 6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the fillets and drain  
on paper towels.  
To serve, spoon the cornbread salad in the center of 4 plates. Lay the  
catfish on top of the salad. Place a spoonful of the tartar sauce on top of
