Source:  Carolyn Dodson's Microwave Cooking

Be careful not to overcook fish, as it will become very tough. meat, poultry, vegetables and fruit cook in approximately 6 minutes per pound, but fish and seafood take only 3-4 minutes per pound. Orange roughy or other mild white fish are good substitutes for the catfish in this dish.

1	lb.	Catfish Filets
1/4	c.	Mayonnaise
1/4	c.	crushed red pepper
1/2	tsp.	Ground Cumin
1/4	tsp.	Onion Powder
1/4	tsp.	Garlic Powder
1/2	c.	Crushed Cracker

• Mix mayonnaise and spices.
• Coat fish on both sides with mayonnaise mixture and roll in cracker crumbs.
• Arrange fish on microwave rack or in casserole, thickest portions to the outside.
• Microwave on High power (100%) for 3-4 minutes. Let stand a few seconds and test for doneness. Fish will flake easily when done.
