Grilled Catfish With Black Bean And Avocado Relish Recipe

ingredients

6 fresh or frozen catfish fillets, about 1/2 inch thick
1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons snipped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (15 ounce size) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium avocado, halved, pit removed, peeled, and diced
1 medium tomato, chopped
lime wedges

directions

Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

For relish, in a small bowl, combine lime peel, lime juice, cilantro, oregano, green onion, olive oil, salt, and cayenne pepper.

In a medium bowl, combine beans, avocado, and tomato; stir in half of the cilantro mixture. Cover and chill until serving time.

Place fish on rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 4-6 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning and brushing once with remaining cilantro mixture halfway through grilling.

Discard any remaining cilantro mixture. Serve fish with relish and lime wedges.

Even people who claim not to like fish have LOVED this recipe when I make it. There is so much other flavors in it to keep them from even noticing the fish really. The fish just makes a good backdrop for the tasty bean and avocado salsa. It's outstanding.
