Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the canola oil in a large skillet. When hot, add the croutons and nuts and saute them for about 4 minutes, until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    In same skillet, heat butter and olive oil. Sprinkle fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper, and place them in one layer in the skillet. Saute 1Ā½ minutes on each side until the fish is just cooked in center.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange catfish on a platter or divide it among individual plates. Add garlic and chives to the drippings in the skillet and cook about 15 seconds. Then, add the water to the skillet and stir to dissolve all the solidified bits in the bottom of the pan.

  4. Step 4

    To serve, pour the resulting pan sauce over the fish, spoon on the croutons and nuts, and serve immediately, sprinkling the fish, if desired, with a little red-wine vinegar.
