Main Courses

Spicy Grilled Catfish

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1 cup Chardonnay wine
2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 pound farm-raised catfish fillets

Prepare a grill or preheat the broiler.

Mix olive oil, lime juice, wine,mustard, chili powder, pepper, cilantro and salt in a medium bowl. Transfer half of the marinade mixture to another bowl and reserve for basting catfish. Add catfish to the first bowl; marinate for 15 minutes.
Drain fillets and discard marinade. Place fillets on an oiled grill rack or broiler pan rack. Grill or broil 4 inches from the heat source, basting with reserved marinade, for about 3 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Serves 4.
