American · Main course · 20 min total

This grilled catfish recipe is light, fresh, and perfect for a summer meal. The lemon and herb marinade adds bright flavor while keeping the fish moist and flaky.

Ingredients

• 4 catfish fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper.
2. Place catfish fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour marinade over fish, turning to coat. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.
4. Remove fillets from marinade and place on grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.

Tips

• Catfish can also be cooked in a grill pan or under the broiler.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
