I was looking for a light and flavorful dish to cook for a easy weeknight dinner when I came across this recipe for Jerk-Rubbed Catfish with Spicy Cilantro Slaw in the March 2010 edition of Cooking Light Magazine. This recipe is extremely simple, I think it took me 15 minutes from start to finish to make this meal. My jerk seasoning was quite spicy, so it was a nice balance with the cool coleslaw. You can always omit the jalapeno that is in the slaw if you don't want too much heat. The natural sweetness of the catfish complimented the tangy coleslaw. I will definitely be making this again in the future.
