I wanted to make sure to have delicious dinners the two nights that I was cooking while my family was in town.  I love fish dishes, but I wasn’t so sure how my family would like this one.  Thankfully it was a hit, and even the twins enjoyed it!

Catfish with Rosemary and White Beans {adapted from The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The New Classics}

Ingredients:

  • 8 catfish fillets with skin
  • 2 tbs crushed garlic
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • 16 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • lemon juice
  • 2 cans cannellini beans
  • sea salt
  • pepper

Directions:

  1. Chop the tomato and onion.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  In a baking pan mix beans, garlic, tomato, onion, salt, pepper, and spray with olive oil.  Bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place the fish skin-side down on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper.  Top the fish with the rosemary sprigs.
  4. Remove the beans from the oven.  Bake the fish until slightly golden – about 10 minutes.
  5. Once the fish is done top with lemon juice. 
  6. Serve!

Grade: A-

Comments: This was really good.  The bean mixture and the fish went great together!  It is very flavorful.  Make sure you don’t use too much salt.  Catfish is naturally a little salty, so try to use just what is necessary for it to cook correctly.  This would be a great choice if you were going to be hosting a large dinner party since it cooks so quickly.
