We love fish! We had to find a way to cook fish...had to give up fried foods. I ate this at the Cracker Barrel and went home and gave it a try! Quick and easy! I usually serve it with Long Grain and Wild Rice....

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large catfish fillets, about 4-5 ozs. each
blackened seasoning
3 Tbsp olive oil
lemon slices

Steps:

  • 1. In a 12" skillet, heat olive oil.
  • 2. Season fillets with blackened seasoning on both sides of fish. Cook in hot oil for a couple minutes on each side. Blackened seasoning will smoke, so reduce heat to prevent fire alarm from going off. Cook until fish is tender and easily flakes. Remove from heat and place on warmed dinner plate to serve.

SPICY GRILLED FISH



Spicy Grilled Fish image

This is a really tasty, economical and different way to enjoy fish! Lots of flavor from the marinade and easy clean up! Winners in my book. I am sure this would work very well on any firm, mild fish. When I made this I was a little crunched in the time department so I only got to marinade it for 1 hour and it was delicious. Plan ahead! This is best marinated for at least an hour but no more than 2 hours. In a pinch, just let it marinate while the grill is heating.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 ounces catfish fillets or 24 ounces other mild fish
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped or 2 teaspoons ground ginger
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, about 1 Tbsp
3 green onions, chopped, green and white parts
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust to taste
lemon wedge (optional)
parsley, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine lemon juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, minced onion, paprika and cayenne pepper and stir to mix well.
  • Place fish in a zipper seal bag and pour liquid mixture over it. Seal and marinate in the refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Oil grill grate or fish basket really well and preheat grill to medium high. Grill fish for 4 minutes on each side. Flip the fish only once and brush with reserved marinade when flipped.
  • NOTE: Fish is completely cooked when the color turns from translucent to opaque (white) or has reached a 150 degree F internal temperature. Resist the temptation to over-cook fish until it "flakes," which indicates the fish is becoming dry.

Tips:

  • If you can't find catfish fillets, you can substitute another firm-fleshed fish, such as tilapia, flounder, or cod.
  • Make sure the catfish fillets are completely dry before cooking them. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Season the catfish fillets generously with the spice rub. This will help to give them a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the catfish fillets over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the catfish fillets until they are cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flakey.
  • Serve the catfish fillets immediately with your favorite sides.
