Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Pepper Catfish Fillets.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat and adding a delightful mix of butter and olive oil.
Step 2
As the butter melts and the oil warms, toss in the chopped green onions, minced garlic, dried parsley, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
Sauté these aromatic ingredients for about two minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and fill your kitchen with a wonderful fragrance.
Step 4
Next, stir in the fresh lemon juice along with a quarter cup of brown sugar.
Step 5
Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves completely, which should take another couple of minutes.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to introduce the star of the dish: gently place the catfish fillets into the skillet.
Step 7
Cook them for three to four minutes on each side, watching for that perfect moment when the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Once your catfish is beautifully cooked, transfer it to a plate and generously drizzle the remaining lemon sauce over the top.
Step 9
For a final touch of sweetness, sprinkle the last teaspoon of brown sugar over the fish.
Step 10
Enjoy this delicious dish that’s not only easy to make but also bursting with flavor!.
