Catfish fillets are rubbed with a blend that includes chili powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne and paprika, then topped with homemade salsa. A green salad, garlic bread and baked sweet potatoes round out the meal nicely. ?Bruce Crittenden Clinton, Mississippi

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 teaspoons salt, divided
3 teaspoons paprika
3 teaspoons chili powder
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
3/4 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 catfish fillets (6 ounces each)

Steps:

  • For salsa, in a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Combine the paprika, chili powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne, garlic powder and remaining salt; rub over catfish. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
  • Grill fillets, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with salsa.
  • Yield: 4 servings.
  • Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
