Cilantro Lime Catfish image

I was looking for a recipe for Mexican catfish and wasn't able to find exactly what I wanted, so I made my own version. I wasn't sure what it would end up like, but it tasted great.

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup butter
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon chopped garlic
5 (5 ounce) fillets catfish

I followed the recipe exactly, but the catfish didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The catfish was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again with a different type of fish.
