Hi Swai!

I've heard murmurs of this fish, as its more popular lately (for reasons of overfishing perhaps? new fish coming to the forefront and hailing from Asia as this one does). It is also cheap. I bought two fillets for $3.15 cents. I wanted something to plate with my previous post of a dish, the simple pasta and I thought a nice (cheap, and unexplored) fish would go well.
Baked Swai
2 fillets (or however many)
2 tbs of butter
Oil (to coat the dish)
2 cloves of garlic
1-2 tbs of basil
Oil and butter the pan. Rub the extra butter on the fillets. Lay fillets in pan. Top with minced garlic (finely diced) and basil. Pop in oven at 375 for about 20-25 minutes. 




Swai proved delicious. Juicy and flavorful. Perhaps because I baked it in butter but man, I will definitely purchase this type of fish again. I forgot to look if it was farm raised or wild caught, darn it!
