Basa is a white fish from Southeast Asia that's an excellent source of high-quality protein and healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids. Its cheap cost, mild taste, and flaky, firm texture make it popular worldwide. It's a quick and easy recipe. This recipe works well with many types of fish including betki and tilapia.

Ingredients

4 Basa fish fillets (or other mild white fish, about 114g each)

8 tsp butter or substitute, melted

4 tbsp lemon juice

¼ tsp lemon-pepper seasoning

½ tsp garlic powder

Dash paprika

Sea salt, to taste

¼ cup green onions sliced thin

2 tbsp parsley chopped

Lemon wedges optional

Preheat oven to 425° F. Pat fish fillets dry and place in a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Pour lemon juice and melted butter over fish. Sprinkle remaining ingredients over fish. Bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.

STEAMED FISH

A fresh whole fish steamed to a tender texture, seasoned with a delicious dressing, Chinese steamed fish requires little cooking skill but tastes incredible.

Ingredients

1 whole fish, gutted and descaled (about 400g)

2 stalk scallions, julienned

1 small piece ginger, julienned

1½ tbsp cooking oil

1 dried chilli, julienned

1 pinch whole Sichuan peppercorn

3 tbsp light soy sauce

½ tsp sugar

1 pinch ground white pepper

Method

Have the fish gutted and descaled by the fishmonger, but keep the head and tail on for the whole look. Before steaming, give the fish a good rinse under running water then pat dry thoroughly using kitchen paper. Lay the fish on a chopping board to cut it at a 45-degree angle several times on each side. This helps to cook through quickly and allow more flavour to penetrate. The last step of preparation is to "dress" the fish with some aromatics: scallions and ginger. Cut them into thin strips and place them underneath and over the fish, as well as inside the cavity. During steaming, they lend a beautiful, subtle aroma to the fish. Be generous in volume if you appreciate their tastes.

To steam a fish whole, you would usually need a wok that is big enough to fit a plate which holds the fish. Place a small bowl in the middle of the wok (use a wire steamer rack instead if you have one). Add water to the wok. Make sure it's lower than the bowl/rack. Bring the water to a full boil, then put the fish plate on top of the bowl/rack. Cover with a lid to steam.

Steam it for 8 minutes over high heat.

Take out the plate. Carefully remove the cloudy liquid. Heat up oil, dried chilli and Sichuan pepper in a small pan over low heat. As soon as the oil starts to smoke, pour it over the fish (you may either pour the spices onto the fish or discard them). Add light soy sauce, sugar and white pepper to the same pan. Heat up until it bubbles. Pour over the fish. Serve immediately with plain rice.
