bacon and cheese stuffed catfish - Eric - 04-15-2008
Servings: 3-4
Prep Time:: Less than 15 minutes
Cook Time: Less than 15 minutes
Cooking Method: Baked
Meal Type: Entree
Main Fish: Catfish
Ingredients
8 large Fish Fillets
12 strips of bacon
4 jalapeno peppers
cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
butter
Directions
Prepare 8 large fish fillets. Catfish is what I used in this recipe but any type of fish will work. The fillets need to be thick about the size of a large porkchop, around 1/2 to 1 inch. Butterfly the fillet like a porkchop and stuff with cheddar cheese,bacon, and jalapeno strips.
Secure the sides of the fish with toothpicks or string, the kind used when roasting a ham.
Glaze the fillets with butter so the top will brown and place the stuffed fillets into a baking dish or cast iron skillet and bake at 350 for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Other Notes
Serve 2 fillets per person with a fresh green salad and ranch dressing or dressing of choice. A cold glass of white wine works very well with this dish
