1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. If desired, add paprika and chili flakes for extra flavor. Mix well to create a marinade.
2
Marinate the Fish
Place the Nile catfish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the fillets are thoroughly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
4
Grill the Fish
Remove the catfish from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
