Add seasoning and chives.
Slowly and steadily pour in heavy cream while continuing to process the mixture until smooth and uniform in color.
Catfish: Divide mousse mixture into five equal portions and cover the top side of each filet.
Heat frying pan and add olive oil.
Gently place catfish filets into hot oil, mousse side down and cook until golden.
Turn filet over and continue to cook until completely cooked.

Sauce Beurre Blanc: Combine the shallots, garlic, wine and lemon juice in a sauce pan and reduce over medium heat until nearly dry.
Add the reduced heavy cream and simmer 2-3 minutes.
Add the butter a few pieces at a time, whisking constantly to blend the butter into the reduction over low heat. Continue adding butter until all has been incorporated.
