Suzy's Swai Meuniere (Swai in Lemon Butter Sauce) image

Swai is light, delicately flavored Asian fish widely available in the US, and very inexpensive. Traditionally this recipe is made with the much more expensive Dover sole, but swai is the perfect substitute for the budget-conscious gourmet. Bon appetite, mes amis!

Time 16m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (8 ounce) fillets swai fish, halved
¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk lemon juice and lemon zest together in a bowl. Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a resealable gallon-size plastic bag.
  • Pat swai fish fillets dry with a paper towel; lightly season 1 side of each fillet with salt. Place fillets in the bag with flour mixture, 1 at a time, and shake to coat.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add butter and heat until lightly browned. Place coated fish fillets in the browned butter; cook until lightly browned on the edges and fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to a plate, reserving butter in the skillet.
  • Pour lemon juice mixture into skillet with reserved butter; cook and stir until a light sauce forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over fish and garnish with parsley.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I made this recipe with a vegan butter substitute. It turned out great! The swai was still flaky and tender, and the sauce was just as flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra herbs and spices to the sauce and it was much better.

The suzy's swai meuniere was a bit too lemony for my taste, but my husband loved it. The swai was cooked perfectly and the sauce was well-seasoned.
