Mix: Place all ingredients in a sauté pan and slowly heat
on medium for 5-6 minutes or until seeds are slightly brown and
aromatic. Grind mixture; reserve.
2. For Salsa: In a large bowl combine all salsa ingredients
mixing well. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
May be brought to room temperature to serve.
3. For Fish: Place catfish fillets in a shallow pan. In
another bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients and mix well.
Pour marinade over catfish and toss to coat fillets evenly. Cover
and refrigerate at least 1 hour before cooking.
4. Preheat charcoal grill. Remove fish from marinade. Place fillets
concave side up on the grill. Cook 2 minutes, rotate fish to create
grill marks and continue to cook 2 minutes. Turn fillet over and
cook 2-3 minutes. (Catfish can be prepared ahead up to this point).
Remove from heat.
5. Place catfish on a sheet pan, concave side up. Place fish in a
350°F oven for 3-4 minutes. Serve with ¼ cup of
salsa.NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION:Calories 304 (39% from
