| Daily Dish Walnut-Crusted Catfish Dr. Agatston, leading preventive cardiologist and author of The South Beach Diet, recommends eating fish twice a week for the heart-healthy omega-3 oils it contains. If the health benefits aren't enough to win you over, we're sure the better-than-fried fish recipe we're offering will do the trick. Makes 4 servings Description Forget deep-frying! This walnut-lemon coating adds crunch — along with heart-healthy omega-3 oils. Though we used catfish, feel free to use any mild-flavored white-fleshed fish, like sole. Tip: You need both the lemon peel and the juice for this recipe; remember to peel the fruit first, then cut the lemon and squeeze the juice. Ingredients Fish Ingredients 1/4 cup chopped walnuts 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 2 eggs 4 catfish fillets (about 6 ounces each; 1/2 inch thick) Salt and black pepper 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Dill-Tartar Sauce Ingredients 1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickle 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill Salt and black pepper Instructions 1. In a small bowl, combine walnuts, thyme, and lemon peel. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Dip fish in egg, then in walnut mixture, coating completely; place fillets on a wire rack to dry slightly. 2. Warm a large heavy skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add oil. When oil starts to sizzle, add fish, skin side up. Cook 3 minutes, shaking pan occasionally to keep fillets from sticking. Turn fish; cook 3 minutes. Turn off heat, but leave fish in skillet to finish cooking. 3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle, lemon juice, and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with warm fish. Nutritional Information: 383 calories 26 g total fat (5 g sat) 186 mg cholesterol 5 g carbohydrate 31 g protein 1 g fiber 340 mg sodium |

| Glenda, thanks for posting this. It looks good. If you use regular mayo, the carb count for the whole recipe is only 7.14 net carbs or 1.78 net carbs per serving. Definitely worth trying.
