Add honey bourbon marinade along with crushed pineapple and juice to a large plastic bag and shake to blend well. Add catfish to the plastic bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare grill.
Cut off pieces of foil for each fillet. Place each fillet in center of individual foil pieces then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Next add both paprika and cayenne to a small bowl and whisk together. Evenly sprinkle on all fillets.
Lastly add a tablespoon of the leftover marinade to the top of each filet then fold up sides of foil so that each is sealed completely creating a loose tent but leaving a small gap for steam release.
Once the grill is hot, add foil tents to the grill and cover.
Depending on the thickness of your fillets, grill for 20-25 minutes or until fish is opaque, tender and flakey.
Too cold outside for grilling? Pop it in the oven when the weather gets cooler.
Allow the fish to marinate. It doesn't need long, just 30 minutes but it tastes so much better when you give the marinade time to infuse the fish.
Don't wrap the catfish up tightly. You want to tent the top of the foil up and over the fish to allow for steam to form inside the foil which will gently steam the fish.
Cook just until the fish is flaky and opaque to keep it plenty moist and delicious!
