Recipe Ingredients:

1 (0.6-ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish fillets
Olive oil for brushing fillets
Garlic salt to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste
Vegetable oil spray

Cooking Directions:

1. In a small mixing bowl combine Italian Dressing mix with the water and lemon juice.
2. Brush the fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt and cayenne to taste. Marinate the fillets in the dressing mix for about 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Spray the inside of a fish grilling basket with vegetable spray. Remove the fillets from the dressing mix and place in the grilling basket.
4. Grill the fillets while basting, for about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the fillets from the grill as they begin to flake, careful not to overcook.

Makes 4 servings.
