Thai-styled Basa With Almond Crust And Sweet Chili Glaze Recipe

	Merlin / All my dishes 1 year, 8 months ago Basa is a delicious fish from the Mekong River in Indochina. I dreamed that this is how I would make it if I were to be reincarnated as a Thai. I guess that makes it "authentic". Prep:5m Cook:12m Servings:4	Merlin

Ingredients

4 basa fillets, about ½ lb each (you could use flounder, catfish or any thick white fish)

1/3 c. ground almond

1 small bunch fresh basil leaves, chopped finely

2 t. Cajun seasoning

2 T. cream sherry

2 T. nut oil, walnut, almond or peanut

1-2 t. hot sauce, optional

4 T. Thai sweet chili sauce

Olive oil spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Combine almond, basil, Cajun seasoning, sherry and oil. Test for spiciness and add hot sauce as desired.

Spray a baking pan thoroughly with olive oil spray. Place fish filet in pan and cover with the almond paste. Pat down. Spray with a bit more olive oil spray.

Cook until the fish is done and the crust gets “crusty”. Spoon chili sauce on each filet. Cook about 2 minutes more until sauce begins to glaze.
