This recipe offers a lighter take on fried fish by using the broiler. Catfish or trout fillets are brushed with butter, dusted with flour, and broiled until they start to brown. A tangy sauce made with lemon juice, Worcestershire, and parsley is then poured over before a final broil until the fish flakes perfectly. It's a straightforward method for a satisfying main course.

Ingredients

1 1/2-2 lbs catfish fillets (4 fillets) or 1 1/2-2 lbs trout fillets (4 fillets)
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine, melted and divided
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 dash paprika (optional)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon parsley
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Method

Arrange the fish fillets on a broiler rack that you have sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Use 3 tablespoons of the melted butter or margarine to brush over the tops of the fish.
Lightly dust the buttered fish with the all-purpose flour.
If you like, add a dash of paprika over the fish.
Position the rack 5-6 inches from the heat source and broil the fish for 5 minutes, or until it just begins to turn golden.
Mix together the lemon juice, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and the rest of the melted butter, then pour this mixture over the fish.
Return the fish to the broiler and cook for another 5 minutes, or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork.
