Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 3 ounces fish and 1/4 cup sauce per serving

Ingredients

Chunky Creole Sauce

1 tablespoon light tub margarine
1 large tomato (about 8 ounces), chopped
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery (about 1Ā 1/2 medium ribs)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled, or 2 tablespoons finely snipped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (lowest sodium available)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
4 catfish or other mild fillets (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large nonstick skillet, melt the margarine over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. When the margarine is bubbly, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 22 minutes, or until the celery is tender. Pour into a medium bowl.

    Step 2

    Place the fish in the skillet, trying not to overlap the fillets. Pour the sauce over the fish. Cook, uncovered, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle with the salt.
