Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 2 basa fillets (ours weighed 250g in total)
- 50g salted butter
- 3 spring onions finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- 1 tsp smoked sweet paprika

Instructions
Step 1: Pour the olive oil into a frying pan over a medium heat. Put the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper, then season the basa fillets. Dip the basa in a light coating of the flour, shaking off the excess.
Step 2: Once the oil is hot lower in the fish and cook for 2-3 mins on each side until lightly golden and the fish flakes when pressed. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
Step 3: Melt the butter in the pan on a medium heat. Once foaming, stir in the spring onions and garlic with a small pinch of salt and a good few twists of black pepper. Cook for 1-2 mins, then scatter in the paprika and toast for 30 seconds, stirring well to combine. Pour over the fish and serve with rice or potatoes and vegetables.
