I try to serve fish at least once a week. Not only is it good for our weight and cholesterol levels, but my family actually likes it. The only problem was that they didn't all like the same kinds of fish: we all like salmon except for my youngest. So when I invented a recipe for baked fish that everyone liked, I was thrilled. Now my youngest will even ask for seconds!
Swai is a tender, flaky white fish that has a tendency to be dry and mild flavored if not cooked the right way with the right seasoning. I like to broil my fish, but swai doesn't take well to broiling. Much better to bake it. If you can't find swai, substitute flounder, tilapia, halibut or any other similar white fish.
Baked Swai
1-2 lbs. swai fillets
1/3 cup dry white wine
1-2 tbsp. butter, Smart Balance buttery spread, or your favorite non-hydrogenated tub margarine
salt, pepper, parsley flakes and any dried herbs you like
Line a shallow baking dish with fish. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour wine over fish and dot with butter. Sprinkle with parsley and/or herbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until fish is opaque. Enjoy

Yummmy -where does one find Swai
ReplyDeleteMy local Henry's supermarket carries it. It may be a regional California fish.
