# Preheat the oven to 425°F.

# Sprinkle with oregano and season with salt and pepper.
# Drizzle the fillets with olive oil.
# Bake about 12 minutes or until flakes easily when tested with a fork.
# Cool.
# Cover and refrigerate while preparing the sauce.
# The catfish can be prepared up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated.
# To prepare the red firecracker sauce, place lime or lemon juice and mustard in a non-corrosive medium bowl.
# Using a wire whisk, mix until smooth.
# Whisk in chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and garlic powder.
# Gradually whisk in olive oil until it forms a smooth, slightly thickened sauce.
# Season with salt and pepper to taste.
# Cover and set aside.
# The sauce can be prepared up to 3 days in advance (if the sauce separates, whisk until blended)
# Cut the cooked fillets in half and coat each piece with some of the sauce.
# Spread a little of the sauce on the bottom of each roll and cover them with lettuce leaves or sprouts or coleslaw.
# Place two pieces of the dressed fillets on top of the greens on each roll.
# Place avocado slices on top and season with salt and pepper.
# Place red onion slices on top of the avocado and add a small dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
