This Greek-inspired grilled catfish recipe combines the bold flavors of lemon, garlic, and oregano with tender, flaky catfish. The dish is easy to prepare and perfect for a summer barbecue or weeknight dinner. Serve with a side of Greek salad and tzatziki sauce for a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 catfish fillets
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place catfish fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over them. Seal the bag and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove catfish from marinade and discard excess marinade.
  4. Grill catfish fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve grilled catfish hot with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
