CATFISH SLOPPY JOE

• 8 oz skinless catfish (or tilapia) fillet, cut into 1/3-inch dice 
• Coarse salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, diced (about 3/4 cup)
• 1 small green bell pepper, diced (about 3/4 cup)
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• Unsalted butter
• 2 oversized burger buns (or other soft rolls), split horizontally

Instructions

Season catfish with salt. Heat medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. When pan is hot (drop of water will sizzle on contact), add oil, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in paprika and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add catfish and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently so all sides of fish come in contact with hot pan. Stir in barbecue sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick, about 10 to 12 minutes. Butter rolls and lightly toast, buttered side down, in skillet. Fill buns and serve hot.
