How to cook up your Lemon Butter Catfish Filets

First put your catfish filets in a bowl and squeeze the lemon juice on them.

Put a skillet on at medium high and add the butter. 3 small filets for just me and Gammy I used a 10 inch skillet. Add a half stick of butter. Then the juice from a small lemon – or half of a large one. A pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. When the butter and lemon juice have stopped bubbling lay the filets in the skillet.

Spoon some of the liquid on the filets as they cook. Just a minute and a half to two minutes a side depending on their thickness. When they are white and just starting to get firm they are ready. Don’t forget to spoon the liquid on them as they cook. Also spoon some on when you serve them.  You could garnish them with a little  parsley or not. You’re the boss!

I multi tasked and microwaved a couple of small potatoes and squashed the onto some onion strips in another skillet while the catfish was cooking.

And when they were almost done I added some broccoli and that was tonight’s carb and veggie.

Then serve up your Lemon Butter Catfish Dinner! You did great!
