2 Catfish fillets
1 medium onion
1 lemon
3 tab sweet butter (approx. 1 teaspoon each)
Paprika
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper
Cut half the onion into round slices and arrange them in the center of a sheet of aluminum foil.
Add 1 tab butter and the juice from half the lemon.
Place one fish fillet over the onion slices.
Cut 2 or 3 more round onion slices and place them on top of the fish fillet.
Add 1 tab of butter.
Place the second fish fillet on tip of the first.
Cut the remained of the onion into round slices and lay them over the top of the second fillet.
Add 1 tab butter and the juice from the other half lemon.
Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
Fold up the aluminum foil over the fish taking care to make sure the edges are securely wrapped and sealed to form a tight package.
Place the fish package in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Alternatively, place the fish package under a broiler or on hot BBQ coals for 10-15 minutes per side.
When done carefully unwrap the aluminum foil (watch out for the steam!).
Server with tartar sauce and fresh lemon, corn, tossed salad and Italian bread.
NOTE: The time to cook is approximate. Thicker fillets will require more time to cook.
The beauty of this recipe is that so long as the aluminum foil is properly sealed, for all intent and purpose, the fish can't be over cooked. Also, the lemon juice, butter and natural juices make it virtually impossible to burn the fish.
