| Cooking
Instructions |
- Place catfish in a shallow pan and sprinkle with oil and lemon grass or lemon zest. Set aside.
- To make the sauce, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté
for about 1 minute. Add hoisin sauce, water, vinegar and chili paste, if using. Reduce
heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until a creamy consistency. If sauce is too thick,
add more water. Set aside.
- Prepare a grill or preheat the broiler.
- Place fillets on an oiled grill rack or broiler pan rack. Grill or broil fillets about 4 inches
from the heat source for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily when
tested with a fork. Place fillets on serving plates and spoon a little of the sauce on
top. Sprinkle with green onions and peanuts and serve.
