By marinating and basting these catfish fillets you don't have to worry about them drying out. This combination adds a fresh flavor to the catfish without overpowering it.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound catfish fillets
- 1 cup chardonnay wine
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dry mustard
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Preheat grill. Mix olive oil, lime juice, wine, mustard, chili powder, pepper, cilantro and salt in a medium bowl. Transfer half the marinade mixture to another bowl to use for basting catfish. Add the catfish to the first bowl and marinate for 15 minutes. Drain fillets and discard used marinade. Place fillets on an oiled grill rack. Grill 4 inches from the heat source, basting with the extra bowl of marinade, for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the meat of the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Turn fish over only once.
