Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swai filets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons Greek seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the Swai filets dry with paper towels, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped basil, lemon juice, Greek seasoning, salt, and black pepper to form a flavorful marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the Swai filets, ensuring they are well coated.
In another small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and melted butter. Mix well to create a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture evenly over each filet, pressing lightly to adhere the topping.
Bake the filets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the filets rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the Swai filets warm, garnished with additional fresh basil and a wedge of lemon, if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad.
