Catfish fillets are rubbed with a blend that includes chili powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne and paprika, then topped with homemade salsa. A green salad, garlic bread and baked sweet potatoes round out the meal nicely. —Bruce Crittenden Clinton, Mississippi
Ingredients:
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 teaspoons salt, divided
3 teaspoons paprika
3 teaspoons chili powder
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
3/4 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 catfish fillets (6 ounces each)
Directions:
1. For salsa, in a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
