Baked catfish with potatoes – preparation:

We take the fish, clean it, gut it, throw out the insides, head and tail. Rinse thoroughly and dry, you can use a kitchen towel.
Next, putting the fish aside, we prepare a marinade aimed at ridding our fish of a specific smell, giving the dish additional aroma and piquancy.
For catfish with potatoes in the oven you need the following homemade marinade.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a container prepared in advance. Add soy sauce to it, salt and pepper - to taste. If you have some special seasonings for preparing fish dishes, you can add a little, but if not, then it will do. Pour the prepared marinade generously over the catfish and let it rest for an hour or two. During this time, it doesn’t hurt to turn our fish over so that it is evenly soaked in the miraculous syrup.
In the meantime, peel our potatoes, wash them and cut them into 4-8 slices. Place in a colander to drain or soak with a towel if you don’t want to wait.
The whole secret of catfish with potatoes in the oven is that not only the fish is marinated, but also the potatoes. Therefore, we take another deep container and prepare a marinade sauce for potatoes. Mix olive oil, soy sauce and starch. Of course, salt and pepper, or add seasonings for cooking potatoes, if any. Immerse the potato slices in the prepared marinade, mix thoroughly and leave for a while.
We take our marinated and fragrant fish out of the marinade and place it on a baking sheet. We chop it a little with small longitudinal cuts. Stuff some chopped garlic into these cuts. Do not overdo it so that the taste of garlic does not overwhelm the taste of the fish itself. With the marinade remaining after marinating the catfish, coat the fish again on a baking sheet. Place the potatoes around the carcass and also pour the marinade over them. Scatter garlic cloves throughout the potatoes.
Preheat the oven to 180C0 and immerse our baking sheet with fish and potatoes in it for 40-50 minutes. 10-15 minutes before complete readiness, place cherry tomatoes on the potatoes. You can put it whole or cut it in half - whichever you prefer.
After the set time has expired, take out the catfish and potatoes and place them on a large plate.

Catfish shish kebab

By marinating pieces of meat in a marinade and frying it over coals, you can enjoy the extraordinary taste and aroma of this kebab.

The most important thing in barbecue is the marinade, so the taste of the finished dish will depend on it. Here is one of the recipes:

pomegranate juice – two hundred and fifty milliliters;
grape juice - two hundred and fifty milliliters;
lemon juice - one hundred milliliters;
sour cream - two hundred and fifty milliliters;
onions - four pieces;
garlic - one head (not a clove!);
dill and coriander - a large bunch;
a pair of laurel leaves;
salt and pepper (to taste).

Pour all the juices and sour cream into one container. Add finely chopped greens, pressed garlic and onion rings (it’s better to cut thicker).

The resulting mixture must be salted and peppered, and laurel leaves must be added. Large pieces of catfish should be marinated in the resulting marinade for about an hour and a half.

Note! It is better to fry pieces of fish on a grill rather than on skewers, because the meat can fall off the “iron sword.” And during the process of frying over the fire, pieces of fish must be poured with marinade. This will prevent the meat from drying out and will make it more juicy and tender.
