PREP 30 MIN/COOK 27 MIN/BROIL 8 MIN

Bring 6 tablespoons lime juice, molasses, and next 5 ingredients to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup; cool.

Saute sweet potatoes and next 4 ingredients to taste in a large nonstick skillet in hot oil 6 to 7 minutes or just until tender. (Do not brown.) Stir in green onions and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Remove from heat; cover with foil to keep warm.

Place catfish fillets on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; season fillets with salt.

Broil 6 inches from heat 3 minutes; brush molasses mixture evenly on fillets, and broil 3 to 5 minutes or just until fish flakes with a fork.

Spoon sweet potato mixture evenly onto 6 serving plates; top each with 1 fillet.  Sprinkle evenly with minced cilantro. Garnish, if desired.
