Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• ⅔ cup chopped green onions

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.
