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.

This dish was just okay. The catfish was a bit dry and the pecan sauce was a bit too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The catfish was overcooked and the pecan sauce was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit too complicated for my taste. I think I'll stick to simpler catfish recipes in the future.

The catfish was a bit bland, but the pecan sauce helped to improve the flavor. Overall, it was a decent meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the catfish came out perfectly. The pecan sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but still very good.
