Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 basa fillets (ours weighed 250g in total)
  • 50g salted butter
  • 3 spring onions , finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves , grated
  • 1 tsp smoked sweet paprika
  • cooked rice or potatoes and veg , to serve

Method

  1. Pour the olive oil into a frying pan over a medium heat. Put the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper, then season the basa fillets. Dip the basa in a light coating of the flour, shaking off the excess.

  2. Once the oil is hot lower in the fish and cook for 2-3 mins on each side until lightly golden and the fish flakes when pressed. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.

  3. Melt the butter in the pan on a medium heat. Once foaming, stir in the spring onions and garlic with a small pinch of salt and a good few twists of black pepper. Cook for 1-2 mins, then scatter in the paprika and toast for 30 seconds, stirring well to combine. Pour over the fish and serve with rice or potatoes and vegetables.
