Instructions: To prepare catfish: Bring oil to medium-high heat in a heavy frying pan. While oil is heating, rinse the catfish fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge fillets lightly in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat catfish thoroughly with sesame seeds. Saute catfish over medium heat one fillet at a time for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.

To prepare dipping sauce: While the catfish is cooking, mix remaining ingredients and either microwave or conventionally bring to a boil for approximately 1 minute. Cool, strain to remove garlic, and serve over fillets or on the side as preferred.
