- 4 (1/4 lb) skinless catfish fillet
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper

- 2 tablespoons orange juice

directions
- Spray the rack of a broiler pan with nonstick spray; preheat broiler.
- Put the catfish on the prepared rack. Lightly spray the fish with nonstick spray and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Broil the fish 5 inches from the heat just until opaque in the center, about 8 minutes. (Tip: To check if the fish is cooked properly, slit the thickest part of fish fillets with a thin-bladed knife. Peek inside; the flesh should be opaque and should flake easily.).

- Divide the cucumbers among 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 fillet; drizzle evenly with the dressing.

Amazingly good! Made for Aussie November swap 2012. The delicate flavours were a good match for a delicate fish, I used Vietnamese catfish. Could maybe be used to cook in a foil packet with the sauce?? Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the photo but it looked nice. Cheers! -
This was a very delicious and healthy dinner. I couldn't find Catfish in our area and my fishmonger suggested to try the recipe with Monkfish, so I did and it worked quite nicely. This is a very yummy summer dish.. Thanks so much for posting the recipe Crafty Lady 13

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
