Oh, my! I was searching the site to see if anyone else had already posted this marvelous recipe. You beat me to it! ...but thank you! It's from a 1996 Jane Fonda cookbook, 'Cooking for Healthy Living'. I don't use non-stick cookware, so for me it was quite smoky inside...had to open windows and doors, so I wouldn't disturb the smoke alarm...but well worth the 8 mins. cook time. I used a garlic infused olive oil...The aroma was as if I were grilling outdoors...and the flavor of the catfish was unbelievably delicious!...never really cared too much for fish, but....I love love love this recipe!
