Sauteed Catfish with Ginger Peach Sauce Ingredients: 1/2 cup flour 1 Tbsp dried thyme leaves, crumbled 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 4 catfish fillets (4-6 oz. each) 2 Tbsp oil 1 Tbsp margarine or butter 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped Ginger peach Sauce (recipe follows) In a medium size bowel or pie plate, combine flour, thyme, salt and pepper. Rinse off fish and pat dry. Dredge fish in flour mixture; shake off excess and lay fillets in a single layer on a plate. Heat oil and butter in a 10-12 inch frying pan; add pecans, and stir until fragrant (1 to 2 min). Transfer the nuts to paper towels to drain. Add fish to pan, without overlapping (you may need to cook in 2 batches). Cook until the fish is crisp and golden on bottom, about four minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook until fish is opaque and tender in center of the thickest area, another 4 minutes. Transfer fish briefly to paper towels to drain, then arrange on plates. Spoon about 3 Tbsp warm ginger sauce over each serving: sprinkle with pecans.
