Broiled Catfish with Fresh Corn and Tomato Salsa
Broiled catfish fillets, lightly seasoned and topped with a mixture of fresh sweet corn, diced tomato, cilantro and green onions make a light satisfying dinner that can be on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 catfish fillets about 1-1/4 lbs
- Olive oil
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon All-Purpose Seasoning Blend (see notes)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 Lime wedges for serving
For the salsa:
- 2 ears fresh sweet corn 1-1/2 to 2 cups kernels
- 1 large tomato peeled, seeded and diced
- 3 scallions trimmed and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chives or basil, finely chopped
- Dash of hot sauce
Instructions
- Position a rack 2 to 3 inches from the broiler and preheat for 7 to 10 minutes. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick spray.
- Arrange the catfish fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Brush with a small amount of olive oil and season lightly with the all-purpose seasoning blend (see notes), and a few grinds of black pepper. Set aside while you prepare the salsa.
- Cut the kernels from the corn and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes, scallions and cilantro and combine well. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a dash of hot sauce and set aside.
- Broil the catfish fillets for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- To serve, plate the fillets, top with a portion of salsa and garnish with fresh lime wedges.
Notes
If you don't have any of our homemade All-Purpose Seasoning Blend on hand, season the catfish fillets lightly with a little salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
To Cook the Catfish on the Grill
- Preheat the grill on high (550°F) and arrange the fish on heavy-duty foil coated with nonstick spray.
- Place the foil on the grates, close the lid, and grill for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
