Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/3 c. chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
- 2 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
- 1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg
- 1 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne
- 2 1/2 tbsp. Cooking oil
- 1/2 tsp. vinegar
- 2 lb. catfish fillets
Instructions
- In a blender, puree the onion, garlic, and sesame seeds with the brown sugar, allspice, thyme, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the black pepper, cayenne, oil, and vinegar. Heat the broiler. Lightly oil a broiler pan or baking sheet.
- Sprinkle both sides of the catfish fillets with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and put them on the prepared baking sheet, skinned-side down. Spread the spice mixture over the fish in an even layer.
- Broil the fish, about 6 inches from the heat if possible, until well-browned and just done, about 5 minutes for 3/4-inch-thick fillets.
- Fish Alternatives: Though catfish is lean and firm, those qualities aren't imperative here. You can use fillets of a different nature, such as bluefish, red snapper or wolffish.
- Wine Recommendation: Make your beverage choice as simple and casual as this dish is and look for something that can take the heat. Try either a white zinfandel, a rosé, or your favorite beer.
