Have you noticed how when the sun is shining and the wind is a gentle breeze and the trees start to bud and flowers bloom and the playground is filled with children’s voices and lawn mowers hum in the background that all of a sudden, things come alive. And I mean A.L.I.V.E! I just love spring. It’s not here yet, but the signs are so telling and oh so welcoming. So not to miss out on the fun outdoors, I whipped this easy yummy fish dish in no time. Some things, like taste, can’t be compromised. And I’m off….to enjoy the rest of the sun, of course!

Ingredients:
2 swai fillets - washed and cut into 2 (total of 4 pieces), dry wth paper towel
1/8 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic - lightly smashed
1 tsp of thyme - remove leaves from stem
1 tbsp of Italian parsley - chopped
1/2 onion - sliced
salt and pepper
Method:
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Cut 4 pieces aluminium foil and grease it with some butter.
- Season the fish with pepper and salt to taste.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and garlic on low heat. Leave the garlic for a few minutes in the melted butter until the you smell the garlic’s aroma. It shouldn’t brown and the butter should not turn brown either.
- Discard the garlic. Add the lemon juice, thyme and parsley and a dash of black pepper. Stir and remove from heat.
- Place each slice of fish on an aluminium foil. Divide the butter mixture equally and pour on the fish slices.
- Put sliced onions on the fish and then fold the aluminium foil.
- Put the foil packets on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
- Serve with rice.
