Smoky Catfish
1 lb. catfish or med. catfish fillets
2 T. lemon juice
1 T. soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp. liquid smoke
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 T. snipped fresh chives
Liquid smoke can be found in the condiment or spice section of most supermarkets. Brush the fish once or twice with marinade while it refrigerates for more pronounced smoke flavor.
If fish fillets are large, cut in 4 serving pieces. Arrange pieces in rectangular baking dish, 12 x 7 1/2 x 2", sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Mix remaining ingredients except chives; brush over fish.
Cover, refrigerate about 30 minutes, brushing twice. Heat oven to 400. Bake uncovered until fish flakes easily with fork, 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with chives.
Makes 4 servings.
Microwave Directions: Arrange fish, thickest parts to outside edges, in rectangular microwavable dish, 12 x 7 1/2
x 2. Mix remaining ingredients except chives; brush over fish.
Cover, refrigerate about 30 minutes, brushing twice. Cover tightly & microwave on high (100%) 3 minutes; rotate dish 1/2 turn. Microwave until fish flakes easily with fork, 3-5 minutes longer. Sprinkle with chives.
