Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 catfish fillets
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 medium jalapeno peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Sprinkle catfish with garlic salt and pepper.
  • Place catfish in a well-oiled grill basket, or on a well-oiled grill rack.
  • Grill on an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals for about 5 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily.
  • HOMEMADE SALSA: In a bowl combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, vinegar and salt and stir well Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Chill to store.
  • Serve over catfish fillets, hot off the grill.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh, ripe fruit for the salsa. If your fruit is not ripe enough, it will be tart and not as flavorful.
  • If you don't have time to make the salsa ahead of time, you can use store-bought salsa. However, be sure to choose a salsa that is made with fresh fruit and does not contain any added sugar.
  • If you are using a cast iron skillet to cook your catfish, be sure to preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the oil and catfish. This will help to prevent the catfish from sticking to the skillet.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the catfish. If the skillet is too crowded, the catfish will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the catfish until it is golden brown and flaky. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve the catfish immediately with the spiced fruit salsa.

Conclusion:

This catfish with spiced fruit salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The catfish is flaky and flavorful, and the salsa is refreshing and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
