A beautiful Basa preparation, with glazed baby bok choy.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 Serrano pepper, de-seeded and brunoised
  • 2 heads baby bok choy, julienne
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 large Basa fillets
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, zested (Missing in Preparation section)

Preparation

Preheat a medium skillet to medium heat.

Add the oil, garlic, ginger, and Serrano pepper and sauté until the edges of the garlic start to brown. Add the bok choy and toss to combine. Deglaze with the Mirin, soy sauce and fish sauce, cooking for 8 – 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone. Set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

When the bok choy has cooled, place half of it in the middle of one of the Basa fillets and roll the fillet over the stuffing; repeat with the other fillet. Place on an oiled baking sheet. Season the top of the fillets with salt and pepper and bake in the oven for 12 – 15 minutes. 

Serve with rice or cellophane noodles.
