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!

Steps:
- Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green pepper, and carrot until golden brown; remove from the pan.

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

CATFISH FILLETS IN WHITE WINE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE
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.

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.

Steps:
- Coarsely chop garlic and in a blender purée with tahini, water, lemon juice, cumin, and salt until smooth.
- Using the flat side of a large knife coarsely crush coriander seeds. Pat catfish dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté fish 2 minutes. Turn fish over, sprinkling crushed coriander around it, and sauté 2 minutes more, or until just cooked through. Divide tahini sauce between 2 plates and top with fish, crushed coriander and oil from skillet, and parsley.
CATFISH IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE
Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Purée tomatoes with their juice in a blender. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic, spices, and 3/4 teaspoon salt, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add tomato purée and sugar and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Pour sauce into a 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Pat fish dry and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Arrange fillets in 1 layer on sauce, tucking each tail end under if necessary to fit, and bake until fish is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Catfish Fillets: Opt for fresh, firm catfish fillets with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have an off smell.
- Season the Catfish Fillets Well: Before cooking, season the catfish fillets generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. This will enhance their natural flavor and make them more flavorful.
- Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine used in the sauce should be of good quality and have a crisp, acidic flavor. Avoid using wines that are too sweet or have a strong oaky taste.
- Cook the Catfish Fillets Over Medium Heat: Cooking the catfish fillets over medium heat will prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the catfish fillets, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in some fillets being undercooked while others are overcooked.
- Serve the Catfish Fillets Immediately: Once the catfish fillets are cooked through, serve them immediately. This will ensure that they are at their best flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Catfish fillets in white wine sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The delicate flavor of the catfish pairs perfectly with the creamy, tangy white wine sauce, and the dish can be served with a variety of sides such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables. With its simple preparation and impressive flavor, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
