A delightful and easy-to-make baked basa recipe with a garlic herb crust and melted cheese topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture.
Pat the basa fillets dry using a paper towel.
Drying the fish helps the seasoning stick better.
Season both sides of the fillets with garlic powder, dried oregano, and smoked paprika.
Use your hands to gently rub the spices into the fish for better flavor.
Place the seasoned fillets in a baking dish.
Arrange the fillets in a single layer for even cooking.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the fillets.
Distribute the cheese evenly for a uniform topping.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture and cook the fish evenly.
Remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese.
Keep an eye on the broiling to prevent burning.
Serve the baked basa with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Lemon juice adds a refreshing tang to the dish.
