Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Catfish

    Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge in Flour

    Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each catfish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Catfish

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the catfish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Cream Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 5

    Add Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 6

    Combine

    Return the cooked catfish fillets to the skillet, spooning the cream sauce over the top. Allow the fillets to warm through for another minute.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce on the side, if desired.
