Recipe Summary Basa Fillets In Tomatillo Sauce

This is a recipe that I tried and my husband and I really liked it. I made it spicy, but you can control the heat.

Ingredients | Lemon Pepper Basa Fish

1 ½ cups long grain white rice

2 ½ cups water

3 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules

1 pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed

3 jalapeno peppers, cut into large pieces

1 clove garlic

1 tablespoon salt, or to taste

1 tablespoon corn oil

½ cup chopped onion

1 ½ pounds swai fish

1 clove garlic, minced

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions

Combine the rice, water and bouillon in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and water has been absorbed. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring about 2 inches of water to a boil. Add jalapenos, and cook for 5 minutes, then add the tomatillos. Boil for 5 more minutes. Remove the tomatillos with a slotted spoon, and transfer to a blender. Add 1 clove of garlic, salt and 1 or 2 jalapenos. Puree until liquid, then taste, and blend in more jalapeno as desired. Set aside.

Heat the corn oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and 1 clove of garlic; cook and stir until fragrant. Add the fish fillets, and cook for about 2 minutes per side. Pour in the tomatillo sauce, and mix in the cilantro and lime juice. Simmer for a few minutes, or place under a broiler until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serve fish immediately on a bed of rice. Spoon sauce over the top. Enjoy with your favorite ice cold beverage. Buen Apetito!
