PAN-FRIED SWAI FILLETS
My husband loves fish. Since I am allergic, I don't partake. Swai was on sale at the grocery so we picked some up. Since he has never tried it before, I decided to cook it in a familiar way for him. He devoured it. I served this with honeyed carrots and fried yellow squash.

Steps:
- Combine red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread corn meal into a shallow bowl. Season swai fish with red pepper flake mixture and press each fillet into cornmeal to coat. Wrap coated fillets in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Unwrap fish and place in the hot oil; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Add water, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook, flipping occasionally, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Cut 2 pounds of Swai fillets into about 1 inch by 1 inch pieces. Sprinkle fish with 1 teaspoon Vegeta seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and mix.
- In a small bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons mayo and 2 eggs. Pour over seasoned fish and mix well. Let it marinade for at least 15 minutes.
- Cover the bottom of the pan with oil and preheat over medium heat. Coat pieces of fish in flour and fry for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Pour out oil after each batch, wipe the pan with napkins (just please don't burn yourself!), pour more oil in and fry some more. You will have to change the oil after every batch to keep the burned flour sticking to the fish.

- Choose fresh swai fillets. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a light pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Rinse the swai fillets and pat them dry. This will help to remove any excess moisture and prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Season the swai fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a little bit of oil or butter to the pan to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Cook the swai fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the pan-fried swai with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
