Golden Pan-Seared Basa with Zesty Lemon
Basa fillets pan-seared in golden ghee and turmeric for a buttery finish, served with zesty lemon, fluffy quinoa, and tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Basa fillets
1 tbsp Ghee
0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Minced garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the basa fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp sear.
Season both sides of the fish evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and ground turmeric.
Heat the ghee in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the fish in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the edges are golden and the fish flakes easily.
Remove the fish from the pan and set aside; add the asparagus and minced garlic to the same skillet.
Sauté the asparagus for 4 minutes until tender-crisp, then stir in the lemon juice to deglaze the pan.
Serve the golden fish over a bed of warm quinoa with the asparagus on the side, garnished with fresh parsley.
