Ingredients
Method
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a shallow baking pan with cooking spray to ensure the fish doesn’t stick.
2. Arrange the Fish
- Place the swai fillets in the prepared pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
3. Prepare the Sauce
- In a small saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat.
- Stir in the white wine, lemon juice, cilantro (if using), minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Season the Fish
- Spoon the prepared sauce evenly over the swai fillets.
- Sprinkle paprika on each fillet to enhance flavor and presentation.
5. Bake the Fish
- Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fillets flake easily with a fork and are opaque throughout.
6. Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the seasoned swai fillets hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Pair with rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic, lemon juice, and cilantro elevate the dish’s flavor.
- Thaw Frozen Fish: If using frozen swai, ensure it’s fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
- Customize the Heat: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicier twist.
