SWAI FILETS - GREEK BASIL, GARLIC PARMESAN



Swai Filets - Greek Basil, Garlic Parmesan image

Swai is a relatively new fish in the meat counters of my area of the country. While shopping at Sam's, I saw the bags of frozen Swai fillets and they looked so good that I decided to buy them even though I did not know what the heck a Swai was. I think that what appealed the most to me was the price; $3.99 per pound, wow! So, I brought it home and Googled it. Swai is apparently similar in behavior to the catfish. It comes from the Mekong Delta and other areas of Southeast Asia (Thailand, Laos and Vietnam). It is considered a white fish and it is sweet, mild in taste and nice and flaky. Since I had a whole bag of the fillets, I decided to experiment a bit and cooked them different ways. I fried it, baked it, grilled it, etc. It turned out great every way I tried it. However, my favorite experiment is as follows below.

Categories     Vietnamese

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces swai fillets (2 Filets. Some are larger, some are smaller)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh greek basil (or sweet basil if you can't find the Greek version)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (one for each filet)
1 lemon, juice of
salt and pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2) Mix olive oil, garlic powder and basil in a small bowl.
  • 3) Place filets into a greased baking pan long enough to hold a fully-flattened filet. (I use olive oil cooking spray).
  • 4) Sprinkle lemon juice over the filets and let them stand for 10 minutes.
  • 5) Brush olive oil/spice mixture over one side, flip and brush the other side.
  • 6) Sprinkle Parmesan over the fillets.
  • 7) Bake for 15 minutes (times may vary according to your oven's performance). Usually, if the meat flakes easily with a fork, it's pretty much done.

BACON WRAPPED SWAI



Bacon Wrapped Swai image

I found this recipe online when I was looking for something to do with my Swai fillets. Swai is similar to catfish with its white flesh, but has a milder flavor and more delicate texture. The recipe came from Milk & Honey Naturals. The fish stayed nice and tender (not dry at all) and the broiling at the end crisped up the bacon nicely.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 swai fish fillets
1/4 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
6 -8 slices thin cut bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Liberally grease a baking sheet or line with foil.
  • I lined mine with foil and it didn't stick to the foil at all.
  • Lightly sprinkle the fillets with the Italian seasoning.
  • Lay out 3-4 strips of uncooked bacon depending on how long your fillets are.
  • Lay a fillet on top of the bacon.
  • Wrap the bacon around the fillet so that there are few gaps between the slices.
  • I overlapped some of my slices-it was fine.
  • Repeat the process for the other fillet.
  • Bake at 400 for 30 minuets.
  • After the 30 minutes are up, broil on High for 1-3 minutes to crisp up the bacon.
  • Watch it carefully so the bacon doesn't burn.

ZIP N STEAM GARLIC PARMESAN POTATOES



Zip N Steam Garlic Parmesan Potatoes image

These are so good. They use the new Ziploc Zip N Steam bags. I used the large size. So simple and so good. And idiot-proof, because I used the bag upside down, and they were fine. I would think you could make these in a regular steamer, but I don't have one, so I don't know how!! Give these a try, I think you'll be as thrilled as I was!

  • Oven Baked Swai. Served with a simple marinara sauce made from petite (diced tomatoes), chopped onions, garlic, and salt and pepper, this oven baked swai dish takes the plain white fish and imbues it with a Mediterranean flair to create something memorable, comforting, and delicious.
  • Smothered Swai. This unconventional yet highly appealing dish might not be how the swai was originally intended to be prepared, but the taste cannot be argued with.
  • Easy Garlic Swai. Taking a Greek approach to the swai, this recipe takes garlic and Greek seasoning and applies them to the swai, where it is then oven cooked for 20 mins.
  • Chili Lime Swai. If you are feeling more in the mood for Thai food, then this chili and lime swai recipe might be right up your alley. Incorporating lime wedges, chili powder, salt and pepper, and olive oil, these filets are then pan fried, searing the flesh just enough to create an attractive crispiness to the taste.
