INGREDIENTS
5 oz Basa Fillet
1 cup Whole Wheat Spaghetti, cooked
1 medium Roasted Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by cooking the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the basa fillet dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Place the basa fillet in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat.
Slice the roasted red bell pepper into strips or bite-size pieces and toss them with the cooked spaghetti. Drizzle a tiny bit more olive oil if desired and season with a bit of salt and additional crushed red pepper flakes for extra spice.
Plate the pasta, then top with the pan-seared basa fillet. Garnish with extra red pepper flakes if you like more heat, and serve immediately.
