So, went shopping the other day, and according to my new fish-eating jihad I bought a package of frozen River Cobbler, a.k.a. Pangasius.
Doing some googling, most recipes I’ve found for it have either called for breading and pan-frying (could have figured that out meself), or have devolved into political discussions regarding fish farming.
So, Dopers! Give me your recipes for pangasius! Curries, soups, ice-cream…you name it and I’ll try it!
2 portions of pangasius, fillets preferrably without the skin.
1 blood orange
2 sprigs of thyme
2 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
foil or parchment
take 2 rectangles of foil, gently brush olive oil or butter on one part. Place a fillet of the fish on each piece of foil. sprinkle very lightly with salt and pepper, and place a sprig of thyme on each fillet. Roll each fillet up around the thyme, and secure with a toothpick or place so the roll holds itself closed. Squeeze half the blood orange juice on each fillet, put the pat of butter on top, make a small bundle out of the foil/close the parchment en papillotte. Bake in preheated 425 degree fahrenheit oven for about 20 minutes. Be careful when opening the bundles, steam can be quite hot.
Goes really nice with rice pilaf and a salad.
