Description
Delicious basa fillet glazed with a sweet and savory soy sauce mixture, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 500g basa fillet (around two pieces)
- 3 tablespoons flour
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (divided)
- White sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
- 4.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 3 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the soy glaze (soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar) in a bowl and set aside.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish.
- Pat dry the basa fillets, cut into individual portions, and season with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Press each fillet into the flour to coat, then dust off excess flour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook half of the fillets until golden, about 7 minutes per side.
- Repeat with the remaining fillets.
- Once cooked, return all fillets to the pan and pour in the soy glaze mixture. Allow to boil for several minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken the glaze.
- Serve the basa fillets over hot rice, drizzled with extra glaze, and topped with toasted white sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, consider toasting sesame seeds. Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by modifying the sugar amount to your taste.
