Grilled Catfish with Brown Sugar Pecan Glaze

Ingredients

  • 2 - 4 catfish filets ¾ thawed
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ¾ cup Catalina dressing
  • RRR Mesquite seasoning or all-purpose seasoning or salt and pepper to taste (mesquite available here: https://kentrollins.com/shop-1/
  • 3 TBSP of butter
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 TBSP light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup whiskey we used Wild Turkey Honey

Instructions

  • Preheat a grill to hot.
  • In a bowl, combine the egg and dressings. Generously coat both sides of the filets in the mixture and set on a plate. Generously season both sides of the filets with the Mesquite seasoning or salt and pepper. Gently pat in.
  • Grease the grates with oil or spray butter. Place the fish on the grill and close the lid to retain the smoke flavor. Grill about 3 - 4 minutes per side or until flaky.
  • Meanwhile, in a cast iron skillet melt the butter until it starts to simmer. Stir in the pecans and cook for about 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Be sure not to burn the butter.
  • Pour in the whiskey and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook 1 - 2 minutes or until mixture reduces slightly.
  • Top the filets with the pecan glaze and serve immediately.
