1
pound catfish fillets or tilapia fillets
3
tbsp finely chopped green onion
1
1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
3/4
tsp minced seeded Scotch bonnet chile or habanero chile
6
pita bread rounds, warmed
Assorted condiments, such as mango chutney, honey mustard, garlic mayonnaise, thinly sliced onion, thinly sliced cucumbers, and hot pepper sauce
Directions
1.
Arrange fish in single layer in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix lime juice, green onion, garlic, thyme, and chile in small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spoon over fish; let stand at room temperature at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
