Basa Recipes
This is one of my favorite basa recipes.
The sauce can be cooked ahead - even the day before - then reheat before adding the fish fillets.
You can use any type of white fish and this tomato sauce is ideal for using with seafood as a pasta sauce - it's really versatile.
Basa with Tomato and Thyme
1 tbspn olive oil
1 onion - peeled and finely chopped
400g can chopped peeled tomatoes
1 teaspoon brown sugar
handful of fresh thyme leaves
1 tbspn soy sauce
4 basa fish fillets - skinned and boned
Soften the onion in a large frying pan - about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, sugar, thyme and soy sauce. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce is thickening.
Reduce the heat to a bubble and slip the basa fillets into the sauce.
Cover with a lid and cook for about 8 minutes, until the fish flakes.
Serve with plain new potatoes and fresh buttered vegetables.
It's a very quick meal to make and is ideal for a family meal or a dinner party. The sauce can be ready made which means it can be ready quickly without having to worry about spending too much time in the kitchen. You can just get on with preparing your whole menu, knowing that all you have to do with the fish is simmer it for 8 minutes.
Basa is a very versatile fish - it can be used whenever you have a white fish recipe - it's also normally very reasonably priced.
