Baked Catfish with Jalapeno Peppers and Sweet Jelly
This recipe calls for sweet jelly. We've used jalapeno jelly since it logically complements the jalapeno peppers and is very sweet, but you can try pineapple jam as a substitute, or feel free to experiment of course. This is a very low calorie recipe for those seeking healthy meal alternatives.
