Ingredients
- 4 pieces catfish fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 medium (diced) tomatoes
- 0.5 medium (diced) red onion

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Step 2
Combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to form a marinade.
Step 3
Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the catfish fillets.
Step 4
Place the catfish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5
While the fish is cooking, prepare the salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, diced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Step 6
Taste the salsa and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside until ready to serve.
Step 7
Once the catfish is done grilling, transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 8
Top each catfish fillet with a generous scoop of the homemade salsa and serve immediately.
