# To marinate the catfish, purée lemon juice, green onions and olive oil in a blender.
# Pour marinade into a shallow dish and add salt and black pepper to taste.
# Add catfish fillets, turning to coat.
# Refrigerate, covered, for 12 to 24 hours to marinate.
# To prepare the lemon butter sauce, simmer wine and shallot in a small saucepan over medium heat until wine has evaporated.
# Add cream and simmer until reduced by half.
# Remove from the heat.
# Gradually whisk in cubes of butter, a few at a time, until sauce thickens and is thoroughly blended.
# Return pan very briefly to the heat to help incorporate butter, if necessary.
# Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and white pepper.
# Prepare a grill or preheat the broiler.
# To prepare the seasoned flour, mix flour, and the baking powder in a shallow dish or on a piece of wax paper.
# Drain excess marinade from fillets and pat dry with paper towels.
# Lightly dredge catfish fillets in flour mixture.
# Place fillets on an oiled grill rack or broiler pan rack and grill or broil catfish about 4 inches from the heat source for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
# Serve with lemon butter sauce and garnish with lemon wedges and green onions.
