Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • cup vinegar

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 pounds thick catfish fillets, cut into large chunks

Directions

  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.

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

  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.
