Pan Seared Swai Recipes

SEASONED SWAI FISH FILLET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a shallow pan or baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Place fish fillets into the prepared pan.
• Heat margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix white wine, lemon juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, and black pepper into the melted margarine; simmer sauce for 2 minutes. Generously spoon sauce over fish fillets. Sprinkle fillets with paprika.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.

LEMON BUTTER SWAI FISH

Steps:

• Rinse the swai fish fillets with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Seasoned both sides of the fish with salt and ground black pepper.
• Heat up a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil. Pan fry the Swai fish fillet, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Turn the fish over gently and pan fry the other side until both sides are light brown with slightly crispy edges. Dish out on a plate.
• In a sauce pan, heat the melted butter, then add the white wine and lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt. As soon as the sauce bubbles, turn off the heat. Drizzle the sauce on the fish, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

PAN-FRIED SWAI FILLETS

Steps:

• Combine red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread corn meal into a shallow bowl. Season swai fish with red pepper flake mixture and press each fillet into cornmeal to coat. Wrap coated fillets in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Unwrap fish and place in the hot oil; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Add water, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook, flipping occasionally, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.

PAN FRIED SWAI

Steps:

• Cut 2 pounds of Swai fillets into about 1 inch by 1 inch pieces. Sprinkle fish with 1 teaspoon Vegeta seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and mix.
• In a small bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons mayo and 2 eggs. Pour over seasoned fish and mix well. Let it marinade for at least 15 minutes.
• Cover the bottom of the pan with oil and preheat over medium heat. Coat pieces of fish in flour and fry for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
• Pour out oil after each batch, wipe the pan with napkins (just please don't burn yourself!), pour more oil in and fry some more. You will have to change the oil after every batch to keep the burned flour sticking to the fish.
