Oven-Roasted Catfish. Fried Catfish Po Boy Recipe. Buttery Catfish in a Creamy Shallot Sauce. Catfish is often covered in a bulletproof coating of cornmeal and spices or drowned in a heavy, highly seasoned sauce. This leads one to believe that the main point of catfish recipes is to draw your taste bud’s attention away from the fish itself. This is a shame, because the flavor of catfish is actually quite delicate and pleasant, and rarely fishy. If you don’t believe us, try our recipe for Buttery Catfish with Creamy Shallot Sauce and just see if it doesn’t change your mind. In this recipe the fish is seasoned only with salt, topped with a creamy shallot, butter and coconut milk sauce and finished with a garnish of chives.
The catfish soaks up the rich sauce and whatever remains you’ll be tempted to lick right off the plate. “Buttery” is a good way to describe both the sauce and the texture of the fish – every bite melts in your mouth. Catfish has a tender texture that is hard to overcook, which makes it more fool-proof than some other types of fish. 2 –3 servings Ingredients: Oven-Fried Catfish Recipe. Catfish Tuscany Recipe.
