Catfish Preparation

Garlic Butter

Method

Catfish Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your charbroiler or grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Catfish

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Season the Fillets

    Add the catfish fillets to the bowl and coat them evenly with the spice mixture. Let them marinate for about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the Catfish

    Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Garlic Butter

  1. 5

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Once melted, add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 7

    Finish the Butter

    Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Remove from heat and set aside.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Catfish

    Once the catfish is cooked, remove it from the grill and drizzle the garlic butter over the top before serving.

  2. 9

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately with sides of your choice.
