Basa Fish with Pan-Fried Mushrooms

Baked Basa Fish with pan-fried mushrooms, served with freshly ground black pepper.

Basa fish (river cobbler, catfish) from Morrisons. Preheat the oven to 200 deg C. The fish fillets were placed in a greased non-stick roasting pan, and cooked for twelve minutes. Basa fish often is filleted to contain no bones, as was the case with these fillets. A delicate flavour - the kitchen does not smell of fish for a couple of days. Often sourced from fish farms in the Mekong Delta.

The mushrooms were pan-fried with sunflower oil at a medium heat for about seven minutes, but could have been cooked with a knob of butter instead (expensive these days in the UK!). Serve with black pepper.

Can be served with roast potatoes, or oven-roasted chips in a spicy salsa.
