I took inspiration from this recipe-simply, my pasta and catfish were dressed w/ a splash of evoo, lime juice, and cilantro. The flavor was refreshing and vibrant. I grilled my catfish on cedar planks and topped w/ the sauce from Recipe #116506. I also served grilled asparagus, Recipe #170025 and Recipe #244998. What a wonderful meal! Thank you so much for a great recipe inspiration!
