Grilled basa w/ veggies


I picked up some basa at the grocery a couple days ago - figured we'd try something new. Next, I hunted down this simple recipe. This fish is like the chicken of fish. It could taste like anything with the right seasoning, it doesn't have that distinct "fishy" taste as some other breeds thus making it perfect for people (like my children and mother) who don't normally like fish.






4 basa steaks
olive oil
black pepper
lemon juice
4 oz (100g) butter
handful chopped parsley

Take the butter and mix into it the chopped parsley, a dash of lemon and some pepper. Roll into a sausage shape and leave it in the fridge whilst you cook your fish.

Heat the grill, line and grease your grill pan.

Place the basa fish steaks about 4" (10cm) from the heat and grill for about 5 minutes either side - brushing with oil to prevent them drying out.

Serve immediately with a portion of the parsley and lemon butter on top.

**Notes**

I also threw a sliced (length wise) cucumber and a sliced & deseeded green bell pepper on the grill and let them cook along side the fish. It almost felt like spring - 30 degrees out, melted snow, and I was grilling.

    Hi Kristina,
    I just want to say thank you for living-out-loud-for-Christ on your blog. I got here quite by accident. I googled Basa Fish Recipes and this was the first hit. You don't know how it blesses me to land on a Christ-serving site when a great percentage of hits are quite the opposite. My ending up with Basa is much the same story as yours. I am going to try your recipe this very evening. Thanks for being on my monitor. Have a blessed day of basking in His Sonshine!!!

    Anne, thanks for your kind words.

    Funny enough most of the traffic my blog gets is b/c of that recipe, I just hope that the people that stick around for more than that are challenged/ encouraged to seek Christ.

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn...

Thankful for Christ's impending return

On Sunday my pastor was continuing our study in Luke and preached a sermon entitled " Watch Yourselves " on about how we ought to live in light of the glorious promise of Christ's return. Today I'm thankful that this good news is true and faithful, our King is coming - how should that impact me today?
