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.

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.

CARRIE'S CATFISH LARUE

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!

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

½ green bell pepper, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced

salt and black pepper to taste

Top with the sauteed vegetables, and pour on the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and white wine.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup whole milk
2 heaping tablespoons Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
10 catfish filets, about 4 ounces each
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 1/2 cups finely ground yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Lemon wedges, for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Stir together the milk and 1 heaping tablespoon of the House Seasoning. Pour the milk mixture into a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the filets. Spread the filets in an even layer in the dish, turning to coat each side. Let marinate for about 1 hour in a cool place or the refrigerator.
  • Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to come 2 inches up the side. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot and heat over medium-high heat until the thermometer reaches 370 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the cornmeal, flour and remaining 1 heaping tablespoon House Seasoning in a paper bag. Working with a few filets at a time, remove them from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them in the paper bag and gently turn the bag over several times until the filets are evenly coated with the cornmeal mixture. Remove the filets and place them on a baking sheet while you repeat the process with the remaining filets.
  • Working in batches, fry the filets until golden brown and crisp on the outside and moist and flaky inside, adjusting the heat to maintain temperature, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Serve the filets with lemon wedges.
  • Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
