Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 6-ounce catfish fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 lemon (1/2 zested and juiced, 1/2 cut into wedges)
3 cups mixed salad greens
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge the fish in the flour, shaking off the excess. Heat 1 tablespoon each butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook, turning once, until opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until just golden, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add the wine, lemon zest and lemon juice. Return to the heat and cook, stirring, until the wine is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, toss the greens with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the fish among plates. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the sauce in the skillet and stir until melted. Pour the butter sauce over the fish. Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the capers and parsley and fry until crisp, about 1 minute; sprinkle over the fish. Serve with the salad and lemon wedges.

CATFISH FILLETS IN WHITE WINE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE



Catfish Fillets in White Wine and Mushroom Sauce image

This recipe comes from an old copy of "Cooking with Craig Clairborne and Pierre Franey". In my opinion, an elegant preparation without too much fuss. I don't have access to catfish myself, but use tilapia with excellent results. Basa or any other fine white fish fillet could be substituted.

Categories     Catfish

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 catfish fillets (about 2 lbs)
5 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  • Wash fish fillets and pat dry; rub the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold the fillets in one layer with 1 TBS of the butter.
  • Arrange the fish in the baking dish then pour the wine over the fish.
  • Scatter the mushrooms over all then salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 4 TBS butter in a saucepan and add the flour, using a whisk to blend completely, then add the milk and cook until thickened and smooth, whisking all the while (this should go pretty quickly!).
  • After the fish have baked for 10 minutes, remove pan from the oven and very carefully pour the liquid into the white sauce (get as much of it as you can but it isn't necessary to get every last drop).
  • Bring the contents of the saucepan once again to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring as needed to prevent sticking (I whisk just about constantly).
  • After this time, remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, then pour the contents over the fish.
  • Return fish to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.
  • To serve, sprinkle parmesan and parley over the top of each serving.

CARRIE'S CATFISH LARUE



Carrie's Catfish Larue image

Something new to do with catfish besides deep frying it! A yummy blend of tomatoes and italian seasonings make this a mild fish dish. Great if you don't care for that sometimes overpowering catfish taste. For a stronger fish flavor, try making the sauce separately and serving over grilled catfish!

Provided by Carrie Causey

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Catfish

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ onion, diced
½ green bell pepper, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
8 (4 ounce) fillets catfish fillets
salt and black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
garlic powder to taste
1 (14.4 ounce) can diced Italian tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup dry white wine

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Catfish Fillets: Select firm and plump catfish fillets with a mild, sweet aroma. Avoid fillets that have a slimy texture or an off-putting smell.
  • Marinate the Catfish: Marinating the catfish fillets in a mixture of white wine, lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs enhances their flavor. It also helps to tenderize the fish and prevent it from becoming dry during cooking.
  • Use a Non-Stick Pan: Cooking the catfish fillets in a non-stick pan prevents them from sticking and breaking apart. It also allows for easier flipping and ensures even cooking.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cooking the catfish fillets over medium heat prevents them from burning or overcooking. It also helps to preserve their delicate flavor and texture.
  • Baste the Catfish: Basting the catfish fillets with the white wine sauce while they are cooking adds extra flavor and moisture. It also helps to create a golden-brown crust.

Conclusion:

Catfish fillets in white wine sauce is a simple yet elegant dish that showcases the delicate flavor of catfish. The combination of white wine, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs creates a light and flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the tender catfish fillets. This dish is a great choice for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. Serve it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
