Directions

1. Mix lemon juice and soy sauce in a shallow dish. Add Catfish fillet strips and toss to coat with marinade. Set aside for 20 minutes to marinate.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add bell pepper, celery, snow Peas and Mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables from pan and set aside.

Add Catfish to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until flakes easily when tested with a fork. Add sautéed vegetables to the pan.
