Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, use a combination of fresh herbs like thyme or dill along with rosemary and parsley.
- If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every 2 tablespoons of fresh.
- To ensure the basa cooks evenly, pat the fillets dry with paper towels before cooking.
- Don't overcook the basa; it should be flaky and moist.
