Ingredients  
2 pounds catfish fillets
  salt
1 pound mixed melon cubes
¼ cup frozen limeade concentrate
½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
⅓ cup sweetened flaked coconut

 

Directions

  1. Coat a grill rack, broiler pan, or stove-top griddle with cooking spray and prepare it for medium-high heat.
  2. Coat the fish with cooking spray on both sides. Season it with salt. Place the fish on the grill and cook, turning once, until it flakes easily, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  3. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor, combine the melon, limeade concentrate, and red-pepper flakes. Pulse until the melon is finely chopped, about 12 times. Set the salsa aside.
  4. Place the coconut in a medium-size heavy skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a fork, until golden brown, 2 minutes. Spoon the reserved salsa over the fish. Sprinkle with the coconut.
