Lemon Butter Fish Fillets
First, I would just like to say that I really don’t like fish. Or at least I’m very picky about fish dishes. I prefer that my fish not taste like fish at all. For this dish, I use tilapia or basa. Always get the freshest fish that you can find. I’ve found that grocery stores usually have the freshest fish on Tuesdays and Fridays. Go to place that has a decent-sized fish counter and ask when they get deliveries of the particular fish that you want to buy. Most of the time they will tell you! This recipe was made with just under a pound of fillets. Adjust the ingredients if you are making more or less fish.
- Mix juice fromMix juice from 1/2 lemon, 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1/2 cup of sherry or white wine.
- Mince a tablespoon of fresh parsley.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a skillet. Add the parsley and the fish fillets. Pour the lemon juice mixture around the sides of the pan (don’t pour it over the fish). When one side of the fish has browned, turn it and then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook until the fish is tender and flakes with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- That’s it! The fish takes on the flavor of the wine with a hint of lemon.

Fried basa fish fillet sandwich
Ingredients Basa Fish
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs, preferably homemade
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 pound firm, white-fleshed fish fillets, preferably Asian Basa or other catfish, cut into 4 equal portions
- Place the flour on a paper plate. Season with the salt and pepper; mix well to combine. Place the breadcrumbs on another plate. Break the egg and into a shallow bowl. Add the milk and beat well to combine. Use a paper towel to pat excess moisture from the fish. Dip first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs, coating both sides well. Place on a baking rack. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to help the coating stick when frying.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. (The oil must be very hot, but not smoking. To test it, take one of the fillets and hold it so that one edge is in the oil. If it sizzles, the oil is ready.) Carefully place the fillets into the oil. Fry until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and return to the baking rack to drain. Season with extra salt and pepper if desired. If using cheese, place the slices on the fish immediately so they will melt slightly. Spread some tartar sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a fish fillet, then more tartar sauce. Close the sandwich and serve.
