Shelli s Lemon Pepper Catfish

1 tablespoon butter

2 teaspoons olive oil

⅔ cup chopped green onions

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon dried parsley

¼ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup lemon juice

¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar

2 (3 ounce) fillets catfish

1 teaspoon brown sugar

Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir green onions, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in the hot oil until vegetables are softened, about 2 minutes. Stir lemon juice and 1/4 cup brown sugar into green onion mixture, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes more.

Place catfish fillets into the skillet; cook until catfish easily flakes with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer catfish to a plate and pour remaining lemon juice sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining brown sugar.
