INGREDIENTS

4 (6 ounce) fillets catfish
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried tropical fruit
1/3 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon 100% apricot spreadable fruit
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS

Rub both sides of fillets with oil. Combine the coriander, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne; set aside 1/2 teaspoon. Add salt to remaining spice mixture; rub over both sides of fillets.
In a saucepan, combine the tropical fruit, apple juice, vinegar and reserved spice mixture. Bring to a boil; stir in spreadable fruit. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
In a large nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, cook fillets over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with the fruit salsa; sprinkle with parsley.
