PECAN CRUSTED DIJON BAKED CATFISH



Pecan Crusted Dijon Baked Catfish image

Simple, delicious alternative to frying catfish southern style. I was dubious about the mixture of pecans and Dijon, but it worked and produced a slightly tangy, crusty finish to the fish. If you've never tried catfish, it is a real treat. The least "fishy" fish I've ever had. My fillets were huge, so I made 1 1/2 times the topping mixture. From Southern Church Suppers

Categories     Side     Low Fat     Pecan

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup pecans
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
4 skinless catfish fillets (6 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Lemon wedges (optional)
Carrot slaw with yogurt dressing
1 pound carrots, peeled
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1/2 small white cabbage, halved crosswise and thinly sliced (5 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
(serves 6)

Steps:

  • Grind the cornmeal and pecans with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until the nuts are finely ground. Transfer to a large, shallow container. Dredge the catfish in the cornmeal mixture, patting it on to coat completely.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 2 fish fillets until golden brown and firm to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a plate; sprinkle with salt, and cover to keep warm.
  • Wipe the skillet with a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and fish. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
  • Carrot slaw with yogurt dressing
  • In a food processor fitted with the shredding disk (or on the large holes of a box grater), grate the carrots. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, vinegar, mustard, sugar, and onion; season with salt and pepper. Add the carrots, cabbage, and dill to the bowl; toss well. Top the mixture with a plate that fits inside the bowl; weight with a heavy object. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 15-ounce bag frozen baby lima beans, thawed, or about 2 cups fresh lima beans
4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Vidalia or sweet onion, diced
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
3 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 cups frozen sliced okra
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Place lima beans and 1 slice bacon in a medium saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn the heat to medium-low and simmer until the beans are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the beans and set aside. Discard the bacon.
  • Meanwhile, add the remaining bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate or bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in the skillet with the bacon fat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn and the garlic and season with salt and pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon of each). Cook until the corn is just barely cooked, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the okra and cook until tender, another couple of minutes. Add the tomatoes and drained beans and continue to cook until the corn is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice, then taste for seasoning.
  • Chop the reserved bacon and sprinkle on top along with the chopped parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
