Baked, Sesame-crusted Swai Fillet With Home-made Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe
I'm not sure if I can call this dish "breaded." Prepping it involves the very same steps as cooking breaded meat, except that sesame seeds take the place of breadcrumbs. I also did something different with this recipe. Instead of using my usual tartar sauce to coat the fish or use as a sauce dip, I used home-made Thai-style peanut sauce. Between the nutty crust of the fish and the creamy enhancement from the peanut sauce, it really made for a delicious meal.
