Share This Recipe

MAKES: 4

COOK TIME: 15 Min

Some zesty spices add a pop of flavor to our Fast 'n' Fiery Grilled Catfish. Because these fish are grilled and not fried, they are a welcome addition to your diabetes diet!

What You'll Need

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 (6-ounce) farm-raised catfish fillets
2 tablespoons canola oil

What to Do

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Coat a hinged grill basket with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the basil, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
Rinse the fish with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub the oil over both sides of the fish, then rub both sides with the seasoning mixture, coating evenly.
Place the fish in the grill basket and grill for 7 to 9 minutes, or until cooked through and firm to the touch, turning the basket over once during cooking.

Notes

To make this a gluten-free recipe, use nonstick cooking spray with no flour added, and seasonings with no added starch from a gluten-containing source.
If you don't have a hinged grill basket, before preheating the grill, coat the grill racks with nonstick cooking spray. No stick equals no mess!
