directions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and place oven rack in upper third of oven.
  • To make the stuffing, in a large skillet heat butter and oil over medium heat.
  • Add shallots and saute until softened, not brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and saute until tender and most liquid has evaporated, 5-8 minutes.
  • Add wine and stir until almost all evaporated.
  • Sprinkle mushrooms with flour and stir well to incorporate, 2-3 minutes.
  • Raise heat to high, toss in the spinach and add cream to skillet cooking to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, cayenne, cashews and salt.
  • Mix well, as the mixture will be somewhat thick, taste, and adjust salt if necessary, keeping in mind that if you are using salted cashews you may need less salt.
  • Butter or spray a baking dish and divide stuffing into two separate mounds and top each with a catfish fillet.
  • Sprinkle fillets with breadcrumbs if using, then drizzle with melted butter.
  • Bake in upper third of oven for 15-20 minutes, until fish flakes easily around the edges.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.

  1. YUM!This was delicious catfish and we will be making it again, DH suggested the stuffing was so good it could stand on it's own as a side dish!!The instructions were very clear and easy to follow, I did have to use 2% milk, had no cream, but it didn't matter, it worked great. The shallots, mushrooms, wine, lemon juice, cayenne and cashews were a wonderful mix with just the perfect little bite to it. The bread crumbs (I used panco) were a great finish and the timming was right on. I baked it for exactly 20 minutes, perfect flaky fish but not the least dry. Thanks for a really good dinner and we wish you lots of luck in the contest.
