Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler on high. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pat the catfish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared broiler pan.
  4. Brush the lime butter mixture generously over both sides of the fish fillets.
  5. Place the pan under the broiler, about 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  6. Broil for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
  7. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
