Ingredients

• 4 pieces catfish fillets
• 200 grams button mushrooms
• 4 cloves fresh garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the catfish fillets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Step 2

Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley finely.

Step 4

Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Place the catfish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 6

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the same skillet, followed by the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning the garlic.

Step 8

Stir in the lemon juice and half of the chopped parsley, and cook for another 30 seconds to combine.

Step 9

Return the catfish fillets to the skillet and spoon the mushroom and garlic mixture over each fillet. Allow everything to heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish the dish with the remaining parsley and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
