Directions[]
Black olive toast[]
Catfish[]
- Heat oven to 250 °F. In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, hot sauce and lemon juice. Brush on both sides of catfish. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and add catfish fillets, two at a time. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until brown, turning only once. Repeat with remaining catfish fillets. Transfer to a baking dish and keep warm in a 250 °F oven.
- Over medium heat, melt butter in the same skillet. When lightly brown, add prosciutto and sauté for about 1 minute. Remove from heat; add capers and almonds.
- Just before serving, toast french bread and spread with black olive mixture. Place a piece of toast on each plate, top with catfish, and spoon over prosciutto-butter sauce.
