Fins From Above

    My husband made Rolled Basa fillets for me tonight; I never knew fish could taste so good! I always thought of any type of fish as a quick-cooking last minute meal choosing to batter it and fry it in a bit of butter with some garlic and parsley. -Nothing special, but always good. This Basa masterpiece has encouraged me to try cooking fish in new ways! Recipe follows:

Basa Rolls

6 Basa fillets

3 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup green pepper, chopped

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, ground

6 tablespoons onions, chopped

1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

1/4 teaspoon oregano

1 tablespoon chopped, fresh parsley

 salt

2 cups water

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 lime

1/2  red bell pepper

    While preheating the oven to 380 F start melting the butter in a skillet. Saute the green pepper, 1 garlic clove, and half of the chopped onions until the onions are translucent. Now add the bread crumbs, oregano, 1 tbsp of lime juice, the parsley and a bit of salt. Mix until incorporated and spread onto the Basa fillets. Roll the fillets up and fix them each with a toothpick. 
    Add water, the remaining garlic clove, onions, the cayenne pepper, and about 3-4 tablespoons of lime juice to a shallow casserole dish. Put the rolls in the baking dish and sprinkle the chopped red bell pepper on each roll. Place in the oven for 30 minutes. You can garnish with slices of lime. Buon appetito!
