Baked Basa

Hello everyone and HAPPY FRIDAY! Hope you are all well - I have been so busy focusing on my Etsy shop etc that I feel I haven't done a foodie post in ages. Don't worry though as today's post is a recipe for baked Basa with a tomato sauce. I didn't actually plan to make this with Basa but it came as a substitute for Cod with the online shopping and I was so pleased with the taste that I ordered it in my next shop. It is a lot more affordable than Cod too at £2.50 for 2 good sized fillets.

To make, you will need: 

• 2 Basa fillets (deboned)
• Half a brocolli
• 1 can of chopped tomatoes
• 1 tsp of olive oil
• 2 large carrots (finely chopped)
• Seasoning (I use oregano, salt and pepper and a splash of balsamic vinegar)

1. Place the Basa fillets on a sheet of baking foil and season with salt and pepper. Partially wrap the foil around the fish and place on a baking tray.
2. Pop the fish in the oven at 180c. It will take around 20 minutes to cook.
3. In a pan, on a medium heat, gently fry the carrots in the olive oil for a couple of minutes.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes and seasoning and leave to simmer.
5. 10 minutes before the fish is ready, boil/steam the broccoli or the vegetables you have chosen to use.
6. Serve up and enjoy!
