Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
• 4 (4 ounce) fillets swai fish
• 0.25 cup water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread corn meal into a shallow bowl. Season swai fish with red pepper flake mixture and press each fillet into cornmeal to coat. Wrap coated fillets in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Unwrap fish and place in the hot oil; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Add water, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook, flipping occasionally, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
