Basa Fillet and Rice

Only one problem with tonight's meal - not enough fish, as per the family, but each had a proper portion and all is well.

I used 2 frozen Basa Fillets, on the bottom of the baking pan I first used a vegetable spray, so the fish wouldn't stick.  I then sprinkled (on the pan) garlic powder, onion powder and Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Seasoning.  Don't use too much Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Seasoning otherwise it may become too salty.

 I placed each Basa fillet on top of the seasoning and sprinkled black pepper and ranch dressing over the top of the Basa.  I baked the prepared Basa in a 350 oven for 30 minutes (remember the Basa was frozen). 

 I put the oven on broil for the last 2-3 minutes to give the whole dish a nice color. 

Broccoli, yes, broccoli and cheese again.  The girls love their broccoli with cheese sauce.  I use a package cheese sauce (just add milk and cook in microwave) and pour over the broccoli.  Notice that the cheese sauce is sticking to the broccoli instead of sliding off.   After I cooked the broccoli for 4 mintues in boiling water, I drained and put back into the pot (no water) and let the water steam off; in other words, I gave the broccoli a little rest before I poured the cheese sauce over it.

Plain white medium grain rice was cooked in the rice cooker (2 cups rice to 2 1/2 cups water) and served plain.  The sauce from the Basa fillet was perfect with the rice.

I also served cream corn to finish the meal.  When I ate this tonight, I was even surprised at how good it tasted and did I ever ENJOY!
