Grilled Catfish
with Lemon-Parsley Relish
3 lbs. catfish filets
Salt and pepper
1 cup flour
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup butter
Lemon-Parsley Relish:
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup dried parsley flakes
1 cup minced onion
Prepare the relish first and set it aside while you prepare the fish. Combine all relish ingredients in a small bowl and stir occasionally.
Season the fish with salt and pepper. Then roll the fish in flour and dip into the egg. Press both sides of the fish pieces firmly into the bread crumbs to coat well.
Drizzle half the butter on one side and cook for 4-5 minutes, placing the fish on the grill about 4" above medium-hot coals.
Drizzle the remaining butter over the fish, turn, and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the relish over the top of the catfish or serve it on the side. Makes 8-12 servings.
