Description

A flavorful grilled catfish recipe that brings the taste of summer and the bayou to your table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Catfish Fillets
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Fish: Place the catfish fillets in a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over, seal, and massage into the fish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Oil the Grill Grates: Use a paper towel soaked in oil to wipe the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the Catfish: Cook the fillets skin-side down for about 5 minutes, then flip and grill for another 3-5 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove and Rest: Transfer the catfish to a platter and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize the marinade with your favorite spices or herbs. Enjoy with coleslaw and corn on the cob for a complete meal.
