Lime Broiled Catfish (Diabetic Recipe)


N.N. of Clarksdale, Mississippi

 

To serve a reduced-calorie dish that is ready in about 15 minutes, I came up with this fast recipe. I think the lime juice adds a fresh flavor to the mild taste of fish.

1 tablespoon margarine
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 catfish fillets (6 ounces each)

  1. Melt margarine in a saucepan. Stir in lime juice, pepper and garlic powder; mix well. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  2. Place fillets in a shallow baking dish. Brush each generously with lime sauce. Broil for 5 to 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer to a warm serving dish; spoon pan juices over each fillet.

Makes 2 servings.
