Catfish Au Lait



Food Network, Alton Brown

Makes 3 servings

    12 ounces evaporated milk                                      
    1 teaspoon crab boil seasoning (Old Bay)                       
    1/2 teaspoon pepper                                            
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt                                           
    1/2 onion thinly sliced                                        
    3 to 4 catfish filets                                          

Prep Time: 15 minutes/Cook Time: 9 minutes

Combine the milk, Old Bay, pepper, salt, and onion in an electric skillet, cover, and bring to a simmer. Add the catfish to the liquid, spooning some of the liquid over the fillets.

Reduce the heat to low, around 140 to 145 degrees, cover the skillet, and poach for 6 to 9 minutes.

MY NOTE: A viewer, who liked the recipe, said they did it in a regular skillet over really low heat.  Also said sauce was thin, so you may want to add a little cornstarch or flour.
