Healthy and flavorful Asian Glazed Swai Fish over jasmine rice. Make this one of your fall favorites and you won’t be sorry!
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Jasmine Rice
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 teaspoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 pound Swai Fish Fillets
- 3 Green Onions, Chopped
- Black Pepper To Taste
Preparation
For the rice: In a small pot add 1/3 of the oil and water and bring to a rolling boil. Add the jasmine rice, then cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed by the rice
For the glaze: In a small bowl mix together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and pepper.
For the fish: Heat remaining 2/3 of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Slice your fish fillets in half (if needed) and place in the oil in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side and then remove from heat. Add freshly ground pepper to the fish.
Plate your fish fillets over a bed of jasmine rice. Pour a few spoonfuls of glaze over the top of the fish.
Then sprinkle a few pieces of green onion over the top of the fish for a garnish.
I wanted to find a healthier alternative for Chinese food that doesn’t compromise the flavor or culinary experience that you find when sitting down for an Asian meal. Enjoy!
