This Paleo Cashew Curried Catfish recipe is one of my favorite clean recipes. For one thing, I really love spicy food, so I add extra cayenne to the recipe (don’t worry, the recipe listed is quite mild). I love adding curry blends to foods and soups. They give everything so much depth of flavor and can turn the blandest vegetables into flavorful dishes without adding a single calorie.

And have I gotten the chance to mention how much I love cauliflower rice? Well, Trader Joe’s has made it even simpler to attain because they sell it in their produce fridge in bags. THANK YOU, for real!!! I love to add it to so many different dishes, and I especially love it now that it’s seriously completely hassle free. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby, to “rice” cauliflower for this recipe would mean to chop up whole cauliflower into tiny bits.

I love this recipe in particular because it’s pretty quick, it’s wonderfully healthy, and it makes 4 servings, so I love to be able to put any extra away in a tupperware to have the next day. Anything that saves me time in the long run is fantastic in my book 😉

Plus, I’ve always really loved the way rice adds body and bulk to a dish, but I really don’t like how heavy my stomach feels after eating it. This way the bulk and texture are added without the carbs and starch. Plus, if you’re on a paleo diet of any sort, or any sort of 30 day reset, this will fit in perfectly!

Ingredients:

For Catfish and Veggies:

Makes 4 Servings

  • 2 Good Sized Catfish Filets (about 6oz each)
  • 3 Cups Cauliflower Rice
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
  • 1/2 White Onion, diced
  • 1-2 Cups Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
  • 3 Tbsp. Fresh Chopped Parsley
  • 2/3 Cup Raw Cashew Pieces (or 1 cup whole raw cashews)
  • Special Spice Blend
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

For Spice Blend:

  • 1 tsp. Ground Coriander
  • 1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. Cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp. Allspice
  • 1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves
  • 1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper (or more for added spiciness)

Directions:

To create the spice blend, simply place all Spice Blend ingredients into small bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed. Save extra in a jar or sealed container for future use (it goes great on salmon, acorn squash, in tomato based sauces, etc).

In a large skillet over medium heat, put a bit of olive oil and the catfish into the skillet. Sprinkle each filet with about 1 tsp. Spice Blend, and sprinkle with sea salt.

In a separate skillet over medium heat with a dash of olive oil, place garlic and onion, mixing occasionally. After about 3-4 minutes when onion begins to become translucent, add green pepper, stir through. Cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Turn catfish over and add mushrooms to the pan, stirring through the juices. Cook 3-4 minutes. Using your spatula as a knife, press through the catfish until the filets are broken up into large chunks. Remove onion/pepper mixture from heat and pour into the pan with the catfish and stir through.

Add cauliflower rice to the catfish mixture and 2 tsp. Spice Blend. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper and stir through until cauliflower is cooked. It cooks quickly, so about 2-3 minutes should do it. Add parsley and cashews and stir through right before serving.

This recipe makes 4 regular servings, or 2 servings if you’re super hungry 😉 . I like to sprinkle mine with a final dash of salt before serving in a bowl. Enjoy!
