Sweet and Spicy Grilled Catfish

By , About.com Guide

Typically marinades are thrown out once you have the food out of them. One tip here would be to place this fish on the grill and brush a little of the used marinade over the top right at the beginning of the cooking time. This will give you some extra flavor from the marinade without worrying about contaminating the cooked food with a marinade that the raw fish sat in.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 catfish fillets
  • For marinade:
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation:

Place catfish in a shallow dish. Mix together sauce ingredients and pour over catfish fillets. Cover and allow to marinate for 30-45 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove fillets from dish, discard marinade. Preheat grill for medium high heat. Place fillets on grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning once. Once the fish flakes easily with fork, remove from heat and serve.
