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

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.

Tips:

  • Make sure your fish is fresh and of good quality. The fresher the fish, the better it will taste.
  • When choosing pecans, look for ones that are plump and have a light golden-brown color. Avoid pecans that are shriveled or have dark spots.
  • To make the pecan topping, use a food processor to finely chop the pecans. This will help them distribute evenly over the fish.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also chop the pecans by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they don't overpower the fish.
  • When adding the pecan topping to the fish, be sure to press it down gently so that it adheres to the fish.
  • Bake the fish in a preheated oven for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Overcooking the fish will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for baked fish include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.

Conclusion:

Baked fish with curried pecan topping is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the flaky fish, the crispy pecan topping, and the creamy curry sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for good heart health.
