Breaded Basa Fish Recipes

EASY BREADED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In shallow dish or pie pan, combine croutons, cheese, parsley flakes and paprika; mix well. In another shallow dish, combine egg, lemon juice and water; beat well.
• Cut fish fillets into serving-sized pieces. Dip in egg mixture, tucking thin ends of fish under to form pieces of uniform thickness. Dip fish in crouton mixture, patting gently to coat; place in sprayed pan. Spray fish with cooking spray for about 5 seconds.
• Bake at 350°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

BREADED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Pat-dry the fish fillets then cut each fillet into 2 pieces lengthwise (since the fillet is uneven in thickness, this operation ensures uniform cooking).
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Prepare 3 shallow dishes: one for the flour, one for the egg, and one for the bread crumbs.
• Beat the egg lightly.
• Dip one fish piece at the time, first in the flour, then in the egg.
• Let the excess egg drip off before coating the fish in the bread crumbs.
• Turn the fish to coat both sides with bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Sauté the fish 3-5 min on each side, until the bread crumb coating becomes golden-coloured.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve on the warmed plates with optional lemon quarters on the side.

CRISPY BAKED BASA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a bowl, thoroughly blend the mayonnaise, mustard, capers, ketchup, paprika, and hot pepper sauce.
• Brush the basa fillets with about 1 tablespoon olive oil, and roll in the crushed Melba toast to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Use a kitchen sprayer to lightly spray the coated fish with remaining olive oil. Arrange the fish in a baking dish and top with garlic and lemon slices.
• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork and coating is lightly browned. Serve with the mayonnaise sauce mixture.

BAKED PANKO-CRUSTED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 425 F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and then spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut the fish fillets into 6-ounce portions.
• Sprinkle both sides of the fish pieces with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• In a wide bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and parsley.
• Put the flour in another wide, shallow bowl.
• In a third bowl, whisk the eggs or egg substitute with the Cajun seasoning and mayonnaise.
• Dip the fish fillets in the plain flour, coating each piece thoroughly.
• Dip the flour-coated fillets in the egg mixture and then coat them with the panko crumb mixture, pressing lightly to help the crumbs adhere to the fish. Repeat with the remaining fish.
• Arrange the crumb-coated fish on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for about 16 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The time in the oven depends on thickness, so adjust for very thin or very thick fish fillets. Serve the baked fish fillets with the lemon wedges and tartar sauce or rémoulade sauce.

SIMPLE RANCHY BREADED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Place the bread crumbs in a bowl. In a shallow dish, mix the dressing mix and oil to form a paste. Coat the tilapia fillets with the paste, then dredge in the bread crumbs to lightly coat.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the fillets in the skillet, and cook 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and easily flaked with a fork.
