Mr. Food's easy catfish recipe will make mealtime a snap! Since it's both lean and packed with protein, U.S. farm-raised catfish has a mild flavor and a firm texture, making it adaptable to a variety of flavor combinations.
What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets
- 4 tablespoon (1/2-stick) butter
- 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
What to Do
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix well. In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot.
- Dip catfish fillets in flour mixture, coating completely. Cook catfish, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove catfish to a platter; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Add butter to skillet, stirring until melted. Add sundried tomatoes, wine and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, stirring about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and basil, stir and spoon over catfish. Serve immediately.
Notes
Options: Garnish with an additional sprig of basil and serve with easy homemade or store-bought mashed potatoes that you can make extra-special by adding fresh grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
