California Farm Catfish Filets in Lemon Butter

Hobby Horseman
Hobby Horseman @HobbyHorseman
California, United States

Catfish is a succulent tender freshwater fish that is always briefly marinaded before cooking to remove any hint of muddy water taste. We use milk or yoghurt. This simple recipe simmers the fish filets in a carmelized lemon butter sauce with capers. Served with frozen spinach and hand made potato tater tots.

Steps

30 minute marinade, 15 minute sautee
  1. 1

    Marinade the fresh or frozen catfish filets in milk or yoghurt with some dried thyme, half an hour. Rinse and dry. Leftover marinade goes to the cat.

  2. 2

    While marinading the fish, oven bake frozen tater tots 30 minutes at 350F degrees, keep warm. A quick way to make a few fresh tater tots is to roll mashed boiled potato balls in breadcrumbs, then bake in the oven till golden.

    Carmelize the lemon slices. Put a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of the lemon slices. Put at low heat in foaming butter in a large cast iron skillet. Fry lemon slices till they are slightly colored, about 2 minutes each side.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
