                        Marinade:
   3                    Catfish fillets (5 to 8 oz)
     1/4   c            Butter -- melted
     1/4   c            Louisiana cane syrup
   1       tb           Dried thyme
   1       tb           Dried basil
   1       tb           Black pepper -- cracked
                        Salt -- to taste
                        Salad:
   6                    Red leaf lettuce leaves
   6                    Romaine lettuce leaves
   6                    Curly endive leaves
     1/2   c            Blue cheese -- crumbled
   1       c            Blue cheese dressing
   6                    Cherry tomatoes -- sliced
                        Black pepper -- cracked,
                        - to taste

  Marinade:

  In a mixing bowl combine all of the marinade ingredients and mix
  well to ensure that spices are well blended. Allow fillets to set
  in marinade approximately 30 minutes. Charbroil the fillets on a
  hot barbecue grill 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until fish is
  cooked to desired doneness. Remove and keep warm.

  Salad:

  On a 6" salad plate, place one piece of red leaf lettuce as a base.
  In a large mixing bowl, combine the other three lettuces and break
  into appropriate size serving pieces. Place one handful of mixed
  lettuces on top of red leaf lettuce. Using a sharp knife, cut
  grilled catfish into 1" slices. Place an equal number of slices on
  top of each salad, sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and top with
  salad dressing. Garnish each salad with tomato circles and cracked
  pepper.
