Pan-Fried Swai Fillets image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup cornmeal
4 (4 ounce) fillets swai fish
2 tablespoons canola oil
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Combine red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread corn meal into a shallow bowl. Season swai fish with red pepper flake mixture and press each fillet into cornmeal to coat. Wrap coated fillets in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Unwrap fish and place in the hot oil; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Add water, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook, flipping occasionally, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
