Ingredients

6 8 oz. catfish filets (orange Roughy, flounder, or even salmon would also work)

6 slices thick bacon

½ c. olive oil

4 T. soy sauce

4. T. balsamic vinegar

1 T. brown sugar

1 t. sesame oil

1 t. sesame chili oil

2 t. cracked red pepper flakes

I T. crushed garlic

1 bunch green onions, minced

2 T. Bourbon whiskey

Canola oil to oil grills

Directions

To make this recipe, in fact to grill fish filets successfully, you must have the right equipment. That is an individual fish grill that allows a single filet to be grilled, and turned, separately.

Combine all ingredients except fish and bacon in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Add catfish, rinsed and drained, and marinate in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

Prepare a grill for indirect heating. Generously oil both sides of the fish grills. Carefully stretch out a filet and layer a piece of bacon on top. These do not need to be affixed as they will adhere to the fish in cooking. Close the grills.

Grill filets, bacon side up on cooler middle part of the grill, for about 4 minutes. Flip the fish grills and cook the other side for about 4 minutes. Depending on the heat of the grill, you may want to put the bacon side of the filet on direct heat for 30 seconds or so to crisp the bacon.

Using a thin spatula, carefully remove the filets from the grills. Make sure to re-oil the fish grills before making another batch.

Serves 4-6
