DUXELLES
2 tablespoon Butter or margarine
5 tablespoon Chopped onion
One fourth pound Mushrooms; finely chopped

FISH
1 pound Catfish fillets
Salt and pepper
1 (up to)
2 tablespoon Lemon juice
2 tablespoon Minced parsley
Parchment paper or aluminum
foil

In saucepan, melt butter; add onion and cook on low heat 4 minutes. Add
mushrooms and cook on mediumhigh heat. Stir frequently, and cook until
moisture has evaporated. Add sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Divide fish into 4 servings; sprinkling both sides with salt and pepper.
With skin side down, squeeze lemon juice generously all over fish. Sprinkle
parsley evenly over all. Cut or tear paper or foil into 14x10inch pieces.
Coat center of each piece generously with butter or margarine. Put fish in
the center of each piece. Sprinkle mushrooms on top of all pieces. Fold
paper over fish and fold across center, drugstore style. Turn ends up
twice. Set packages on oven rack in preheated 400degree oven for 1214
minutes. If using parchment paper, the fish is served in the paper, which
is cut open. If using foil, remove foil before serving fish.

Fish wrapped in parchment paper can also be cooked in the microwave. But
don't do it with foilwrapped fish. Put two packages of fish on a microwave
safe place and microwave on high for 6 minutes. Repeat with other packets.
Let stand 1 minute before cutting open to serve.
