Easy Asian Inspired Baked Basa Fillets with Thai Chilis
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 basa fillets approximately 6 to 8 ounces each
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsps peeled and minced fresh ginger
- 1 small bunch of fresh cilantro chopped finely
- 2 small Thai red chilis seeds removed and minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 4 stalks fresh lemongrass or 2 tsps lime zest
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F / 177°C
- In a small mixing bowl, combine well the oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, cilantro, chilis, salt, and pepper. Set this aside.
- On a cutting board, gently bash the lemongrass stalks with a wooden spoon or the dull edge of a chef’s knife to release their citrus essence.
- Take 4 large pieces of parchment paper, approximately 18 inches long, and fold in half. Using scissors, round off the corners of the paper. Take one sheet of paper and open it up. Place a fillet of basa near the center fold of the paper and spoon 1/4 of the sauce over the fish. Place one stalk of lemongrass on top of the fish. Fold the paper over the fish and fold/twist the edges to form a sealed packet. See the video below for instructions. Repeat with the other 3 fillets of fish and place the packets on a sheet pan.
- Alternatively, you can do this with sheets of aluminum foil.
- Place the basa in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve the individual packets on dinner plates with your favorite sides in serving bowls. Allow your family or guests to open their own packets and either place the fish on their plates or eat them right out of the parchment paper.
