Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces catfish fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely chopped) shallot
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 8 ounces (sliced) mushrooms
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 0.33 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the catfish fillets dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lightly dredge the fillets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the butter and melt it over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
Pour in the dry white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
Stir in the chicken stock and let it simmer for another 2 minutes, reducing slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Return the catfish fillets to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm the fillets through.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
