Number Of Ingredients 3

2 small or medium catfish filets
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

This is made up of curry powder, onion powder,garlic powder, and other ingredients on the label. Actually, we do not put a lot of salt on the fish when we are seasoning it.
  • 2. After the fish is seasoned, place it on the grill. Keep turning it until there are no more juices running from it. When using the George Forman grill we just follow the directions of usage for the grill. This is also good on the regular grill!
