To prepare a delicious pangasius fillet in the oven, start by carefully mixing all the dry and ground spices you have chosen. You can opt for a classic combination of salt, pepper, paprika, sweet paprika, as well as other herbs you like, such as oregano or basil. This mix will give the fish a special flavor, enhancing the natural aromas of the pangasius meat. After preparing the spice mixture, wash the pangasius fillets well under a stream of cold water to remove any impurities. Drying them is an important step, so use a kitchen towel or paper towels to gently pat them dry. Once the fillets are dry, drizzle them with a little olive oil or sunflower oil, ensuring that both sides are evenly coated. This step will not only help the fish cook evenly but will also provide a crispy texture. Generously season the fillets on both sides, and if you like, add crushed garlic for an extra flavor. The garlic will provide a distinctive taste and will perfectly complement the fish. After you have finished seasoning, you can choose to coat the fillets in breadcrumbs or, for a lower-calorie option, in cornmeal. The latter will create a crispy, golden crust that will transform the dish into a delicacy. Next, prepare a heat-resistant dish that you grease with oil or a tray that you line with baking paper. Arrange the pangasius fillets in the dish, making sure they do not overlap, so they cook evenly. Drizzle each piece of fish with a tablespoon of oil before placing them in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius. Let them bake for 20-25 minutes or until the meat becomes opaque and develops a nicely browned crust. After baking, remove the pangasius fillets from the oven and place them on absorbent napkins to remove excess oil. It is recommended to serve the fish while it is warm, to enjoy all its flavor. You can choose to serve it plain, drizzled with lemon juice, but also alongside your favorite side dish, such as a fresh salad or a creamy garlic sauce. This dish is not only tasty but also healthy, making it a perfect choice for a light and satisfying meal.
