Basa Recipe?
I've recently been buying basa from the supermarket, mostly because my choices are limited there and basa is the cheapest. Basa is a type of catfish with white, flaky flesh and a very mild taste. I've never cooked or had it before, but this recipe I've been modifying from allrecipes.com has been pretty decent and very simple to make.
Ingredients:
*Because I'm a poor college student, I prefer to substitute fresh garlic with a large container of garlic powder because it preserves the essential garlic taste while saving you the money of buying fresh garlic and it has a long shelf life. I'm sure fresh garlic would taste better though :(.
Ingredients:
- 4 basa fillets
- 1/8-1/4 cup of honey
- 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Preheat the oven to 450 ˚F
- Mix mustard, mayonnaise, olive oil, honey, and lemon juice together in a separate bowl
- Coat the basa fillets in the sauce and lightly season them with black pepper, garlic powder*, thyme and parsley.
- Wrap the fillets in aluminum foil and stick them in the oven until they fragment easily when poked with a utensil (15-20 min)
