Provided by Sharon Rigsby

Categories     Dinner

Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 fish fillets (six ounces each, skinless, approximately one inch thick)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon creole seasoning (I like Zatarain's)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Do not over-process or you will end up with pecan meal or pecan butter.
  • Add the finely chopped pecans and the panko crumbs to a shallow dish or pie plate and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Add the mayonnaise and creole seasoning to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Evenly spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture on all sides of the fillets.
  • Dredge each fillet in the nut mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
  • Heat a large, 12-inch, non-stick oven-proof or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the fillets and cook for three minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook three minutes on the other side.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and let the fish finish cooking. This should take about five minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve immediately.

CATFISH OR ANY FIRM WHITE FISH WITH PECAN SAUCE



Catfish or Any Firm White Fish With Pecan Sauce image

Although the original recipe calls for catfish, I've found you can use any firm, white fish in this recipe. Originally posted by Cynthia Holliday in Be Our Guest cookbook, but I've changed it a bit. The 2 hour soaking time is not included in prep or cook time.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 catfish fillets, farm-raised (about 3 lbs)
1 cup milk
3/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 teaspoon onion powder
1/3 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup butter, divided
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Combine the catfish fillets and milk in a large dish; cover and chill for 2 hours.
  • Cook the pecans in 1/4 cup melted butter in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes; add the green onions, and cook 2 additional minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet; set aside.
  • Combine the flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground red pepper, ground white pepper, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Dredge the fillets in the flour mixture.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. (Unless your stove runs hot, then reduce to medium) Add 4 fillets, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. (You are just browning the fillets, they shouldn't be flaky yet). Remove fillets to a 4 quart shallow baking dish. Repeat the procedure with the remaining 1/4 cup butter and fillets.
  • Pour the lime juice over the fillets and top with the pecan mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.

COCONUT CURRY FISH



Coconut Curry Fish image

Jamaican curry powder plays a major role in this deeply savory weeknight dish, giving the sauce its unique flavor and golden hue. The traditional spice blend is heavy on the turmeric, and benefits from being toasted, which brings out its notes. This recipe calls for frozen whiting, which doesn't hold up to frying but shines here, simmered in a sauce studded with red and green bell peppers. If whiting is unavailable, cod is also a good choice.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red bell peppers, deseeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 medium green bell peppers, deseeded and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 medium onion, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons Jamaican curry powder (hot or mild)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
4 (6-ounce) fillets frozen fish, such as whiting or cod
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
1 lime
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, for garnish
White rice or couscous, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a medium (10-inch) saucepan with deep sides over medium-high. Drizzle in olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add red and green bell peppers and onion, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the curry powder to the pan, and toast for about 1 minute, stirring often to keep the curry from scorching. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the grated ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Place fish on top of cooked vegetables, or nestle them into the vegetables, if your pan is becoming too full. Pour coconut milk over fish and vegetables.
  • Cover and simmer over medium-low until fish is cooked and starts to flake, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Squeeze lime to taste over the top and garnish with scallions and cilantro. Serve with white rice or couscous.
