Lemon Pepper Basa Fillets

Basically, I just lightly covered the basa fillets in lemon pepper salt and then pan-fried. We haven't had white fish in a while so it was another great meal.

Breaded Fish

Okay, I think I've got my process for breaded fish down! Here's the link for the first time I breaded the fish and it came out super delicious - moist on the inside, nice n crunchy on the outside: http://foodiestuffers.blogspot.com/2012/04/breaded-fish.html. Now, I need to be more consistent with cooking. This time it stayed in the pan for about 6-7 minutes with the first minute under a lid with a bit of water. And when I flipped it over, that side cooked closer to about 4-5 minutes. Yumyum! Serve with lima beans and brown rice for a complete meal.

Breaded Fish

I can't stop raving about these fish!!!

Omgosh! These were the BEST fish I ever made in my entire lifetime!!!! I only hope I can replicate this for future eats. These are two basa fillets that were defrosted overnight. I patted them down with paper towel to dry them up just a little bit so it's not dripping wet, but still a little moist. I placed them in a flat bowl (to contain my mess as best as possible) and poured about 1/3cup of all-purpose flour and covered both sides of the fish. Then I scrambled one egg in a small bowl and poured it over the fish and again made sure to cover the entire filets with the scrambled egg. Then I took bread crumbs and covered the entire filets as well. I lightly sprinkled red robin's seasoning on them. Fire up a pan, add a little oil and place those babies in. I left them on medium heat for 5 minutes, then flipped. Then I added 1/3 cup of water and covered and let cook for about 1-2 minutes or until water evaporates. After that, I let it cook for another 3-4 minutes. The inside of the fish were very moist and succulent, while the outside was crunchy and tasty. It was very DEEEEEEEE-licious!!!! Serve with rice and salad for a more complete meal. :)

Butter Lemon Garlic Basa Fillets

I cooked the fillets with melted butter, lemon, and minced garlic in a frying pan with lid over for about 8 minutes til almost done. Then, let simmer til the liquids dissipated and then browned them nicely. It came out delicious. (But it better had because the day before, I baked it, and it didn't bake nicely. It was still raw after 40 minutes at 400F -_-)
