  • 2 6oz Catfish Fillets (or similar flaky white fish, such as pollock or tilapia)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 Lemon or Lime
Preparation
  1. Spray sheet pan lined with foil and both sides of fish with non-stick cooking spray. Season top side of fish with salt and pepper. Place on pan.
  2. Broil about 7-8 inches from broiler unit or flames about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fish is opaque when flaked.
  3. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime and serve immediately.

Notes:

  • The cooking time for the fish depends on how thick the fillets or steaks are. For fillets measuring about 1 inch at their thickest, cook for about 5 minutes on each side. A good rule of thumb is 10 minutes total for each inch of fish thickness.
  • If using frozen fish, thaw before cooking by placing in fridge while still wrapped for several hours or overnight. For faster thawing, place fish in a leak-proof bag and submerge it in cold water for 30 minutes.
