Pan Fried Swai Fillet with Avocado on Arugula, Tarragon Goddess Dressing

You can substitute catfish or whatever other fish fillets are fresh and good today!Tarragon Goddess Dressing:
1/4 cup good real mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
Palmful fresh parsley
1 tsp dried tarragon, or 1 Tbsp fresh tarragon

4 Swai or catfish fillets
1 Tbsp butter plus 2 Tbsp olive oil
5 oz arugula
1/4 cup favorite balsamic vinaigrette
2 ripe avocados

Blend together the dressing - put the parsley, garlic and tarragon in a small food processor and mince finely. Add the remaining ingredients and blend well. Scrape sides down with a spatula to assure complete mixing.

Heat a large non-stick skillet and melt the butter in the olive oil. Place fillets in pan, rounder side down, and brown for about 2-3 minutes. Flip fish and cook other side another 2-3 minutes.

Meanwhile, slice each avocado in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds and peel each half. Slice each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices.

Toss arugula with balsamic dressing and divide among four plates. Place a fish fillet on each plate. Fan slices of a half avocado on each fillet. Finally place a dollop of dressing on the avocad. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.

Serves four.
