Carrie's Catfish Larue

Poaching catfish with tomatoes, white wine, and vegetables is a nice alternative to deep frying. Great if you don't care for that sometimes overpowering catfish taste. For a stronger fish flavor, try making the sauce separately and serving over grilled catfish!

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• salt and black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• garlic powder to taste
• 1 carrot, peeled and diced
• 1 (14.4 ounce) can diced Italian tomatoes
• 8 (4 ounce) fillets catfish fillets
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 onion, diced
• 0.5 green bell pepper, diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green pepper, and carrot until golden brown; remove from the pan. Using the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, sear all of the fillets on both sides. Lay all of the fillets into the skillet, sprinkle with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Top with the sauteed vegetables, and pour on the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and white wine.

Step 2

Bring to a simmer, and cook gently until the sauce has thickened slightly, and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
