Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Basa Fillets

Season the basa fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2

Dredge in Flour

Spread the all-purpose flour on a plate and dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off the excess.

3

Egg Mixture

In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.

4

Dip in Egg

Dip each floured fillet into the egg mixture, coating completely.

5

Heat Pan

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

6

Cook Fillets

Add the fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7

Make the Sauce

Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the butter, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

8

Combine and Serve

Return the fillets to the skillet, spoon the sauce over, and cook for an additional minute. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
