INGREDIENTS
6 oz Basa Fish Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the basa fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and freshly chopped herbs.
Drizzle lemon juice over the fillet and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Pan-sear the basa for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
While the fish cooks, trim the asparagus and toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Roast in a 400°F oven for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Prepare the quinoa as per package instructions if not already cooked.
Plate the basa with a side of roasted asparagus and 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa, then garnish with additional fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
