Cornmeal Crusted Catfish with Creole Butter and Greens

4 servings

ingredients

• 4 (6 ounce) catfish fillets
  ? cup cornmeal
  1 tablespoon Chef Paul Prudhomme’s® Magic Shrimp Seasoning,                       
  ¼ cup butter, softened
  2 tablespoons canola oil
  4 cups packed mâche greens
  3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

directionsRinse catfish; pat away excess water with paper towels. In shallow dish combine cornmeal and 1 tablespoon shrimp seasoning. Press catfish into cornmeal mixture to thoroughly coat. In separate bowl combine butter and 1 teaspoon shrimp seasoning; set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add catfish to skillet; lower heat to medium. Cook until fish just flakes with a fork (about 5 minutes each side). Remove fish from pan; cover fish with foil.

In same skillet, add greens; cook until just wilted (about 3 minutes). Stir in vinegar and remaining teaspoon shrimp seasoning. Divide greens among 4 dinner plates, top with catfish and a dollop of seasoned butter.

Tip: Mâche, also known as “lambs lettuce” and “corn salad,” has a sweet, nutty and a little bit wild-tasting flavor. Its delicate round leaves, yet hearty texture, allow mâche to work equally well as a cooking green.
