Cilantro Lime Catfish image

I was looking for a recipe for Mexican catfish and wasn't able to find exactly what I wanted, so I made my own version. I wasn't sure what it would end up like, but it tasted great.

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup butter
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon chopped garlic
5 (5 ounce) fillets catfish
salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • Season catfish fillets with salt and black pepper; lay gently into the butter mixture. Place a cover on the skillet. Cook fillets 10 minutes, turn, and continue cooking until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is lightly browned, about 10 minutes more. Squeeze lemon juice and lime juice over the fillets to serve.
