oven-baked swai

Two very similar recipes for the fish, but served with different side dishes.

a. with sweet potato, Caribbean rice

2020-05-30

A quick and easy side dish, Zatarain's prepackaged Caribbean rice. I made this one a bit wetter than usual, because I wanted some sauce for the fish.

Caribbean rice is easy to make from scratch with bell peppers, coconut and pineapple.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

2 large swai fillets
S&P, seasoning
1 pckg. Caribbean rice OR
- 1 cup rice
- 1 red, 1 green bell pepper
- 1 medium onion, cut coarsely
- 2 celery stalks.
- 1 small can pineapple chunks, drained

Pic1: swai fillet with Caribbean rice

Directions

2020-05-30

Pic2-4: swai

Season the fish.
Bake 20 minutes at 350 ºF.
Meanwhile, prepare the rice as per instructions on the package.
Alternatively, sauté or stir-fry the vegetables separately and cook the rice. Mix before serving.

Pic5-7: served

I do not like to overcook fish until completely dry. It may look wet and undercooked, but the fish is fully cooked. (Pic6) Higher temps will dry the fish more.
Serve and enjoy.

b. with mango and tomatoes

2020-07-06

A very different look, this recipe. The tomatoes provide a sharper contrast to the sweet mango.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

2 large swai fillets
2 cups mango, cubed
2-3 medium potatoes, peeled
4 roma tomatoes
S&P, seasoning

Pic8: swai, potatoes, mango, tomatoes

Directions

2020-07-06

Pic9-11: cooking

Boil the potatoes in slightly salted water.
Season the fish to taste. Lay out on a baking tray.
Arrange tomatoes and mongo around the fish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 ºF.
Prepare tomato sauce.
I made the sauce by thickening 2 cups of tomato soup I had in the refrigerator.

Pic12-14: served

Serve the fish together with potatoes, mango and tomatoes.
Serve the sauce with or over the fish.
Enjoy.
