PAN-FRIED SWAI FILLETS

My husband loves fish. Since I am allergic, I don't partake. Swai was on sale at the grocery so we picked some up. Since he has never tried it before, I decided to cook it in a familiar way for him. He devoured it. I served this with honeyed carrots and fried yellow squash.

1 cup cornmeal

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 4 1/2 pound servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs swai boneless fillets, thawed
1 teaspoon vegeta seasoning (all purpose seasoning)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Cut 2 pounds of Swai fillets into about 1 inch by 1 inch pieces. Sprinkle fish with 1 teaspoon Vegeta seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and mix.
  • In a small bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons mayo and 2 eggs. Pour over seasoned fish and mix well. Let it marinade for at least 15 minutes.
  • Cover the bottom of the pan with oil and preheat over medium heat. Coat pieces of fish in flour and fry for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  • Pour out oil after each batch, wipe the pan with napkins (just please don't burn yourself!), pour more oil in and fry some more. You will have to change the oil after every batch to keep the burned flour sticking to the fish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right swai fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly pink color. Avoid fillets that are soft or have a slimy texture.
  • Season the swai fillets well: Swai is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well before cooking. Season the fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help to prevent the swai fillets from sticking to the pan and breaking apart.
  • Cook the swai fillets over medium heat: Cooking the swai fillets over medium heat will help to ensure that they cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the swai fillets only once: Flipping the swai fillets too often can cause them to break apart. Flip the fillets once, when they are golden brown on the bottom.
  • Cook the swai fillets until they are opaque: The swai fillets are cooked when they are opaque all the way through. The internal temperature of the fillets should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the swai fillets immediately: Swai fillets are best served immediately after they are cooked. Serve the fillets with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried swai is a quick and easy way to cook this mild-flavored fish. By following these tips, you can cook pan-fried swai that is tender, flaky, and flavorful. Swai is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides, making it a great option for a weeknight meal.
