Shelli’s Lemon Pepper Catfish

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2/3 cup chopped green onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
• 2 (3 ounce) fillets catfish
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

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.

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.
