LEMON BUTTER CURRY CATFISH



Lemon Butter Curry Catfish image

My mom once owned a stake in a catfish farm called Delta Pride. It stalled and sputtered and eventually went belly-up (excuse the pun). But we did get some great catfish recipes along the way, like this one from The Catfish Institute. Cheap, easy and good! The buttery, lemony rice is irresistible!

BROILED FISH WITH LEMON CURRY BUTTER



Broiled Fish With Lemon Curry Butter image

Broiled fish fillets topped with a little butter and a squirt of lemon is a quick, easy weeknight staple. But when the butter is spiked with plenty of garlic, a jolt of curry powder and piquant fresh ginger, then brightened with fresh herbs, it becomes a superb, company-worthy dish that still cooks in under 10 minutes flat. Use your favorite fish here; any mild fillet will allow the buttery sauce to shine.

CATFISH CURRY



Catfish Curry image

If you've never tried it, or you eat it infrequently, I strongly encourage you to try your hand at cooking this very versatile fish. I promise you that when properly prepared, catfish is "off the hook!" Try this curry recipe as an example.

Provided by Adrian Miller

Categories     Main Dish Catfish

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds catfish fillets
4 cups water
2 medium onions, finely chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Rinse fillets under cold water and cut into 2-inch pieces.
  • Place catfish into a medium saucepan and add water, onions, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until fish is tender but not breaking apart, about 8 minutes. Transfer fish to a serving platter using a slotted spoon and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Bring the cooking liquid in the saucepan to a boil; continue to boil until it reduces to 1 cup, then keep warm over low heat.
  • Combine flour, curry, and butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork or fingertips to form a smooth paste. Roll teaspoon-sized bits of paste into balls.
  • Return the cooking liquid to a simmer. While stirring slowly and continuously, drop the balls into the liquid one at a time, letting each one dissolve before adding the next. Cook until the sauce returns just to a boil and thickens to the consistency of gravy, about 5 minutes. Check the seasoning.
  • Pour the gravy over the fish and boiled rice, sprinkle some parsley on top, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh catfish fillets. Fresh catfish fillets should be firm and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy smell.
  • Dredge the catfish fillets in flour before cooking. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a combination of butter and olive oil to cook the catfish fillets. This will help to prevent the butter from burning and will also add flavor to the fish.
  • Cook the catfish fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Baste the catfish fillets with the lemon butter sauce while they are cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the catfish fillets immediately with the lemon butter sauce and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Lemon butter curry catfish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The catfish fillets are cooked in a flavorful lemon butter sauce that is infused with the flavors of curry powder, garlic, and ginger. The fish is served over rice and is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
