Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• ⅓ cup vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
• 2 pounds thick catfish fillets, cut into large chunks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Blend the vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, cayenne, coriander, cumin, and oil in a blender until you have a thick paste. Brush the fish chunks with the mixture to coat evenly and place in a shallow dish; pour the remaining marinade over the fish. Allow to marinate in refrigerator at least 4 hours.

Step 2

Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the marinated fish in a broiler-safe dish, reserving the marinade.

Step 3

Broil the fish under the preheated broiler on the oven's center rack for 10 minutes; turn the fish and brush with reserved marinade. Continue cooking until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes more. Serve hot.
