remaining cup of orange juice in a saucepan, place over medium heat and
cook, reducing the liquid by about 1/2. Remove from heat and whisk in the

fillets dry with a towel. Dust with cornstarch and shake off excess. Heat
the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the
catfish, 2 fillets at a time. Fry until golden, about 3 minutes, then turn
and fry until done, another 3 to 4 minutes depending on the thickness of
the fillet. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in the oven while cooking
the remaining 2 fillets. To serve, dress a warm platter with the sauce,
arrange catfish on top and garnish with chopped parsley.
