Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chili powder
  
• 1/4 cup ground cumin
  
• 1/4 cup ground coriander
  
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  
• 1 tablespoon salt
  
• 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  
• 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  
• 4 U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish fillets (4 to 6 ounces each)
  
• Olive oil spray

Preparation
Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 8 minutes

1. Mix spices in a glass jar with tight-fitting lid. Store the blend in a dark cupboard, away from heat; it will keep for two to three months.

2. To cook catfish fillets, begin by sprinkling 1/2 to 1 teaspoon rub on a lightly oiled fillet. Grill or broil over high heat for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per side or until the fish begins to flake when tested with a fork in the thickest part.
