    List of Ingredients




    4 U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon salt

    1 teaspoon ground red pepper
    2 tablespoons butter divided

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse fillets and pat dry. Combine all dry ingredients. Coat fillets evenly and shake off excess coating. Heat 1 tablespoon each of the butter and oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet until butter foams but doesn't burn.

    Cook 2 fillets, rounded side down, for 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet, rounded side up. Wipe skillet, add remaining butter and oil. Repeat cooking process with remaining fillets. Spread fillets with pesto. Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serves 4.

    1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
    2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
    2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
    2 tablespoons chopped pecans
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 teaspoons butter
    Combine all ingredients in food processor with metal blade. Pulse-chop to a coarse paste. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate.
