Ingredients
For the Basa Fish
- 500 gm Basa Fish Fillets about 8 inches long
For the Marinade
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Paprika smoked
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tbsp Herbs mixed
Instructions
- Place the basa fillets on a plate.
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and mixed herbs. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the basa fillets. Allow the fish to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, carefully place the marinated basa fillets in the skillet.
- Cook the basa for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cooking in batches ensures even browning. The fish will release some juices as it cooks.
- Gently flip the fish and sprinkle with additional mixed herbs. Continue cooking until done. Avoid overcooking, as this can dry out the delicate fish.
- The total cooking time should be about 8-10 minutes. The fish is ready when it's opaque throughout and flakes easily.
- Serve the pan-seared basa fish immediately. Enjoy!
