Ingredients:
- Swai fillet
- Broccoli
- Sliced mushrooms
- Onion or garlic
- Basil
Chop a handful of onion, and fry in oil in pan. Add basil (fresh is best, but dried also works well)
Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of swai fillet.
Fry swai fillets in the onion/basil oil, 3 minutes each side.
Take out swai fillets and set aside.
Add sliced mushrooms to pan, season with soy sauce, and sautee until cooked.
Serve swai with rice and broccoli on the side, and coated with mushroom and remaining sauce from pan.
Total cost?
almost 1 pound broccoli = 77 cents
1 package sliced mushrooms = 99 cents
swai fillets @ $1/fillet = $3
rice for all of us = 25 cents
Grand total = $5.01 for 3 meals at dinner plus Todd's lunch the next day.
The fish ended up having a really nice, moist, buttery flavor! Not sure if it's the nature of swai, or if it's the stuff I used to cook it in (usually I fry fish in straight oil, not oil with sauteed onion and basil!)
