The second time I made it. It is delicious and moist.
Our new friday night noodle fav!! Thanks
@Anita, You can use vegetable oil instead of butter.
Baked it came out very well but just tell me the alternate for butter
Quite nice. Drained liquid after 25 minutes and returned to oven for last five. Better for serving on taco, or pita bread (not as soggy). Used a home made "soy" sauce, which worked well .... and less salt.
Interesting
@Kim, I'm glad you liked it :)
Very tastey! I had it bake 2.5kg of Basa so I had to up the ingredients. The best fish night in a long time. Thanks for the recipe!
lightly salt and pep your fish first to make up for the low sodium soy sauce. if normal soy sauce i don't think you would have to pre season the fish... add more lemon to taste :) great balanced recipe with the tang and spice!! beautiful browning. loved it. had w some grilled veg and quinoa
@Marei, It is 390 degrees F (Fahrenheit). After baking you can serve the fish without the sauce.
Is it in celcius or farenheit? Mine does not look similar with your pic but its cooked and delicious. Do i have to remove the sauce the fish from the sauce when baking it? Thanks
Yumm
@hareem, You can use olive oil instead of butter but it tastes better if you use butter.
What can I use as an alternative for butter?
Brown or white sugar?
@Kaela, You can use either brown or white sugar.
This recipe is so easy and is damn delishous!!!
Good dish but saltless!!
@Chandan Bose Chandan, this recipe has soy sauce and amount of salt in each brand of soy sauce is different (and usually salty), it's better to adjust the salt based on your taste. I hope it helps.
yum
