  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 pound swai fish
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup finely crushed plain Melba toast rounds
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a bowl, thoroughly blend the mayonnaise, mustard, capers, ketchup, paprika, and hot pepper sauce.
  3. Brush the basa fillets with about 1 tablespoon olive oil, and roll in the crushed Melba toast to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Use a kitchen sprayer to lightly spray the coated fish with remaining olive oil. Arrange the fish in a baking dish and top with garlic and lemon slices.
