Instructions
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.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner
Catfish on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The St. Francis Sonoma County Pinot Noir with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
