Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • ⅔ cup chopped green onions

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar

  • 2 (3 ounce) fillets catfish

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

  1. Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir green onions, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in the hot oil until vegetables are softened, about 2 minutes. Stir lemon juice and 1/4 cup brown sugar into green onion mixture, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes more.

  2. Place catfish fillets into the skillet; cook until catfish easily flakes with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer catfish to a plate and pour remaining lemon juice sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining brown sugar.
