Catfish In Oyster Andouille Butter
Ingredients
6 ea 5-8 oz
catfish fillets
3/4 c Vegetable oil
1 c Egg-wash (1 egg, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk)
1/2 c Unseasoned flour
1/4 c Julienned andouille sausage
1 ts Garlic
1/2 c Sliced mushrooms
1/2 c Chopped green onions
24 ea Fresh shucked oysters
1/2 c Dry white wine
1 1/2 c Heavy whipping cream
Salt and white pepper to taste
4 sl Cold butter
In a ten inch heavy bottom sauté pan, heat oil over medium high heat.
Blend egg-wash to ensure that egg, milk and water are well mixed. Dip
catfish fillets into egg-wash and then into flour, coating evenly on all
sides. Sauté fish, three fillets at a time, until golden brown,
approximately three to five minutes on each side. Once cooked, remove and
keep warm. In the same sauté pan, add andouille, garlic, mushrooms and
green onions and sauté until vegetables are wilted, approximately three
to five minutes. Add oysters and sauté until their edges are curly.
Deglaze with white wine, add heavy whipping cream and cook until sauce is
slightly thickened. Season to taste using salt and white pepper. Once
sauce has thickened, swirl in butter chips, two at a time, until all is
incorporated. The butter will finish the sauce to a nice sheen. Place two
to three ounces of oyster butter in the center of a serving plate and top
with catfish fillet. Garnish with four cooked oysters per serving.
