Today I planned to grill some catfish. I was a little worried at seven am when the grill was covered in a few inches of snow. By ten am we had at least four inches and had spent much of the morning playing in the snow and building a snow man and a snow "fort". The snow fort was turned into a recliner and then used, along with the snowman in a snowball fight.
After a great afternoon nap most of the snow was gone and plans to grill catfish were back on. In December I was given a recipe by a co-worker that I loosely followed. If she is reading this she will note the main change is that I cut the cooking time by two thirds. Here is what I did:
Four fresh catfish filets
dip in a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice
rub with:
onion powder
kosher salt
fresh black pepper
chili powder
Cooked the fish in a roasting pan for about 14 minutes.
For the salsa topping:
1 can of rotel completely drained
teaspoon of lemon juice
5 springs of cilantro
Added the salsa on the plate. If children had not been eating the fish I probably would have added the salsa while it was on the grill.
The corn was my usual recipe for grilling corn. About 7 minutes over direct heat and then about 7 more minutes in the foil pack. Before grilling I rubbed butter along the corn and then seasoned with fresh black pepper and kosher salt.
Everything turned out great! I look forward to cooking catfish again soon.
