Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped celery
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds catfish, cut into 6 pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 cups cooked riced cauliflower
1/4 cup sliced green onion

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, green pepper, and celery; cook until vegetables are just beginning to soften, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, broth, hot sauce, thyme, Worcestershire, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, uncovered, until thickened and saucy, about 15 minutes.
2 Put catfish pieces on top of the vegetable mixture. Cook, covered, until catfish is just cooked through and opaque, about 10 minutes.
3 Remove catfish from the skillet and keep warm. Stir parsley into skillet. Serve étouffée and catfish over riced cauliflower. Sprinkle with green onion.
