How to Make Cajun Grilled Catfish With Apricot Salsa
- **Prepare the Apricot Salsa:** Combine 1 cup diced fresh apricots, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 jalapeño pepper, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- **Make the Cajun Rub:** In a small jar, combine 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Close the lid tightly and shake well to combine.
- **Prep the Catfish:** Rinse 4 (6-ounce) catfish fillets under cold running water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- **Season the Catfish:** Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over each catfish fillet. Sprinkle generously with the Cajun rub, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Gently rub the rub into the fish.
- **Preheat & Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
- **Grill the Catfish:** Place the prepared catfish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once halfway through.
- **Serve:** Remove the cooked catfish from the grill. Divide the chilled apricot salsa among individual serving plates. Top each fillet with a generous spoonful of salsa and garnish with a lime wedge.
