Herbedgrilledcatfish Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Coat each catfish fillet with the dry rub. Dip the fish into the oil and place the fillets on a hot grill to establish grill marks. After establishing grill marks and the fillets release from the grill, place the catfish into a smoker. Smoke for 2 minutes using the hickory wood chips. Add water to the chips and steam the fish for another 2 minutes. Remove the catfish from the smoker and serve immediately with homemade Tartar Sauce.
• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Season with salt, to taste. Chill, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange catfish fillets in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Combine parsley, paprika, thyme, oregano, basil, and black pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle herb mixture over fish. Mix lemon juice, butter, and garlic powder in another bowl; drizzle butter mixture over fish.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish is easily flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the first seven ingredients; sprinkle over fillets on both sides. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine the lemon juice, butter and garlic; drizzle over fillets., Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except fish and lemon wedges and mix well. Using a pastry brush, paint the fish steaks liberally on both sides and set them aside, lightly covered with a piece of aluminum foil, to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Build up a fire, using good hardwoods if you're cooking in a fireplace or the best hardwood charcoal (not fake-wood briquettes) if you're using a grill. Let the fire burn brightly and die down until you have a nice bed of hot coals or embers. Large pieces of fish can be set directly on the grill, but to prevent smaller ones from falling through and burning up, you may want to use a special grid made for fish.
• When you're ready to cook, brush a little plain olive oil on the cooking surface and set it 4 to 6 inches from the source of heat.Arrange the fish steaks so that they have equal access to the heat source. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turning once. Test for doneness-fish should be opaque all the way through-by inserting the tip of a sharp knife near the bone or in the center of a boneless piece of fish. Remove immediately to a hot platter.
• The remaining marinade should be heated just to the boiling point and either poured over the cooked fish or passed at the table along with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Combine the first 7 ingredients; stir well.
• Rub spice mixture over catfish fillets.
• Coat gill rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Grill fillets over medium heat for 5 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily.

• Grill fillets over medium-high heat about 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily.
• Garnish with fresh oregano and thyme sprigs if desired.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut a piece of tin foil big enough to wrap round the fish twice.
• Brush the middle portion of foil with olive oil.
• (Where the fish will sit on top) Place the fish fillet on top of the greased foil.
• Rub ginger juice into fish.
• Sprinkle a pinch of pepper on top of fillet.
• Spread the Oregano and Basil evenly over the top of fillet.
• Sprinkle the finely chopped garlic over the top of herbs.
• Rest the tomato slices on top.
• Arrange the Onion rings over the fillet.
• Squeeze the juice of both the orange and the lemon over the whole fillet.

• Place the envelope in the grill and grill at 400F for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, combine the first 9 ingredients. Add catfish, 1 fillet at a time, and turn to coat., Place a large cast-iron skillet on a grill rack over medium-high heat. Melt butter in the skillet; add catfish in batches, if necessary. Grill, covered, until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 5-10 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Rinse catfish fillets with cold water; pat dry and set aside.
• Mix together the next 6 ingredients in a shallow, non-metal dish; reserve 2-3 tablespoons for basting.
• Add catfish to marinade, make sure to coat both sides of fish.
• Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes; turn fish occasionally.

• Over a medium-hot grill, grill catfish 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes with a fork.
• Baste with reserved marinade during cooking.
• Serve warm and garnish with sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Using a mortar and pestle, crush 1/2 cup fennel fronds, black and pink peppercorns, garlic, and parsley to a paste. (Or pulse in a food processor.) Stir in 2 tablespoons oil. Rub mixture over fish, inside and out; stuff fish with more fennel fronds, herb sprigs, and greens. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium. Season fish generously with salt and pepper. Brush a fish-grilling basket with oil; place fish inside and secure. Grill, covered, turning once, until fish is opaque and flakes when tested with the tip of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss fennel bulbs and chiles in a bowl with salt and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Grill until fennel and chiles are lightly marked and tender (if they start to burn, shift to a cooler area of grill). Arrange fish on a platter; surround with lemon, potatoes, fennel, and chiles (chiles should be eaten with caution). Drizzle with herb sauce; serve immediately.
