Ingredients

3 pounds catfish filets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons lemon zest from 3 lemons
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground rosemary
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Prepare a grill fire to 350° with pecan chunks for smoke flavor.
Make a double layer of heavy duty foil that will fit on the grill, folding up the edges to form a shallow pan for the fish.
Mix lemon zest with brown sugar, ground rosemary, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, dry mustard and salt.
Spray or lightly coat fish on one side with olive oil.
Dredge into panko and place panko side down onto foil.
Sprinkle rub over the top of the fish.
Cook over indirect heat with the grill closed for about 10 - 15 minutes. Use a grill thermometer to check fish, cooking until fish reaches at least 145°.
Remove to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
