Breakfast: Catfish in Brown Butter

We had a fish fry the other night and one lonely catfish filet got left over. No problem. I ate it for breakfast, sautéed in browned butter and served with a couple of our home-grown fried eggs.

Swish 2 tablespoons butter around a moderately hot saute pan. When the butter has turned golden, add your fish, seasoned with salt and pepper. Brown the fish lightly on one side, then the other, occasionally basting with the butter. Turn down the heat, cover and continue cooking until the fish is cooked through.

The trick is browning the butter without burning it. When it looks like the solids in the butter might be cooking too quickly, I lift the pan off the heat and give the butter a rest. Hold the fish warm in the oven while you fry your eggs. To serve, garnish with chopped parsley. Easy.

Bon appetit!
