Catfish With Spicy Tomato Sauce and Pecans

"This is a great, quick meal that's wonderful for doing after work. Any white fish fillet will work with this recipe and when you can get good, summery, red tomatoes you can sub them for the canned. I serve this with a white and wild rice pilaf but it's probably good over pasta as well."

  1. I usually just steam my salmon and veggies with lemon, so this was a nice change. I used fresh tomatoes (mmmm!), and I liked the spiciness the red pepper added. Next time instead of pecans, I'll try it with slivered almonds. Thanks for a tasty and easy recipe!
     
  2. This was really good. I did omit the cilantro and subbed chili powder and cumin for the red pepper flakes. It wasn't as spicy that way, but still flavorful. I liked the pecans, but at first I was confused about why they were in there. They were really good though! Thanks for a great recipe, and sorry it took me so long to do my tag!
