Creamy Lemon pepper Fish
This dish is rich and flavorsome with flaky Bassa fillets in a creamy lemon pepper sauce
This recipe was actually created because of left over ingredients in the fridge one day. Now to this day it has become part of the meal rotation.
All in the Sauce
This creamy lemon pepper sauce is made with the following:
- Lemon pepper seasoning- Badia is a fan favorite.
- Coconut milk – Adds flavour and a silliness to the sauce
- Plant based double cream – a healthier alternative and helps thicken the sauce.
What fish to use
Ome of my favourite fillets to use is bassa. If bassa is not available or not a top preference, any fish would pair well with the sauce.
Salmon is easy to find and super popular along with cod, or kick the flavour up a knotch more with a smoked Haddock.
What sides to pair?
We usually have this dish over rice or with pasta as the creamy sauce pairs well with most pasta varieties. Sere with Quinoa or couscous for a healthier option.
