Catfish Amandine Recipe

Catfish Amandine Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets catfish
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add almonds and garlic and cook until both are just beginning to brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Combine milk and egg in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine flour, salt and cayenne. Dip fish in the milk mixture, then in the flour mixture; shake off any excess flour. (Discard any of the leftover mixtures.)
  3. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fish and cook until lightly browned and opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
  4. Return the pan with the garlic-almond sauce to the stove over medium heat. Add lemon juice and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
