Catfish Fillets In White Wine And Mushroom Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook mushrooms and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add broth or wine, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add catfish, simmer, uncovered, for 6 to 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. (Butter sauce will be thin.) Serve over spaghetti. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Garnish with lemon and parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Pat the catfish pieces dry. Rub a baking dish (a dish measuring about 2 by 13 by 8 inches is ideal) with one tablespoon of the butter. Arrange the fillets over the buttered dish in one layer.
• Add the wine. Scatter the mushrooms over all and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place in the oven and bake 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Add the milk, stirring with the whisk. When blended and smooth, remove from the heat.
• Pour the liquid from the baked fish into the sauce, stirring. Bring to the boil and cook, stirring often, about five minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the fish and bake 10 minutes longer. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve hot.

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onions, peppers and garlic until wilted. Add the flour and stir until a blond roux is achieved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sugar, chicken base, crab base, granulated garlic, basil, black pepper, cayenne pepper and thyme. Add the milk and wine and cook over medium heat until the milk thickens, stirring constantly, about 6 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese melts and fully incorporates into the sauce. Add the crawfish tails and cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Add the green onions just before serving.
• For the catfish: Sprinkle the catfish with Creole seasoning. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk. Coat the catfish in flour and dip in the milk/egg mixture, then coat with cornmeal. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large skillet. Fry the catfish until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Serve the catfish with the crawfish au gratin sauce.

Steps:

• Set oven to broil.
• Salt and pepper fish on both sides. Set aside.
• Combine butter, oil and garlic in small saucepan over low heat until butter is melted.
• Saute the mushroom in medium size skillet in 1/2 of the butter/oil mix.
• Remove from heat and add the Booze. :-) Return to heat and cook until it becomes a glaze.Add the tomatoes, Thyme and cream. Simmer for 10 minutes until it thickens.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. (remember the fish is already salted and peppered).
• In another skillet heat the remaining butter/oil mixture.
• Saute the fish in it for 3-4 minute on each side. Just until cooked through. (thicker fillet will take longer).
• Transfer the fish to broiler proof dish and spoon the sauce over it. Sprinkle with the cheese and broil until cheese melts.Yum! :-).

Steps:

• Put the wine, shallots and thyme in a saucepan over high heat and boil until less than 1/2 cup remains, from 20 to 30 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir. Strain the sauce and set it aside.
• Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a pan. Before the butter begins to brown, add the mushrooms. Cook for 4 minutes, turn each mushroom and cook 3 more minutes. Remove and drain them on paper towels.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Season one side of the monkfish fillets lightly with salt and pepper. When the butter begins to foam, immediately place the fish, seasoned side down, in the pan.
• Lightly season the top side of the fillets and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on each fillet's thickness. Turn and cook until thoroughly warmed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the fish, pat dry and arrange on 6 plates.
• Warm the wine sauce until nearly boiling. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Season, add the mushrooms and surround each fillet with the sauce.
