Ingredients

  • 1 catfish fillet
  • 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus additional leaves for garnish (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice, preferably fresh squeezed
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
  • 1 pinch paprika, or to taste
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste

Cooking Instructions

To prepare the tartar sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice and chipotle pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Season both sides of the catfish evenly with the paprika and garlic powder. Set a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it. With an oven mitt, briefly take the pan off the heat and lightly spray with some olive oil spray.

Place the catfish in the pan. Cook for 1 minute per side, or until seared. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the catfish flakes easily.

Transfer to a serving plate. Spoon the reserved tartar sauce over the top. Garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
