3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound assorted fresh wild mushrooms (such as chanterelle, stemmed shiitake, and crimini), cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 9 cups)
3 cups chopped onions (about 1 pound)
2 cups chopped celery (4 to 5 stalks)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 cup (or more) low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Melt 1/4 cup butter with olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced wild mushrooms and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms are tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to large bowl.

  • Butter 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Stir vegetable mixture into bread. Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend well; whisk in 1 cup broth. Add egg mixture to stuffing, tossing to combine evenly and adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if dry. Transfer stuffing to prepared dish.

Tips:

  • To ensure the catfish is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the catfish is cooked by gently flaking it with a fork. If the fish flakes easily, it is cooked.
  • For a crispy crust on the catfish, make sure to pat it dry before coating it in the breading mixture.
  • To prevent the stuffing from becoming dry, add a little bit of moisture, such as white wine or chicken broth.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms and spinach in the stuffing. Some good options include shiitake mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, and baby spinach.

Conclusion:

This catfish with mushroom and spinach stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The catfish is flaky and moist, the stuffing is savory and flavorful, and the creamy sauce brings it all together. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
