Ingredients

500 mL (2 cups) packed fresh basil leaves
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large red bell pepper, roasted
75 mL (¾ cup) toasted pumpkin seeds
45 mL (3 Tbsp) Western Family extra virgin olive oil
3 mL (½ tsp) salt
3 mL (½ tsp) black pepper
6 basa fillets (or halibut if preferred)

Preparation

Slice peppers in half, remove seeds and place, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Broil until blackened. Cover until cool, then pull off skins. Also available prepared in some deli departments.

Place seeds on a baking sheet in a 350°F (180°C) oven for about 5 minutes, shaking occasionally until toasted.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Combine all ingredients except the fish. Mix well. Spread over top of each fillet and place in a shallow non-metallic baking pan.

Bake about 10 minutes per inch (2.5 cm) of thickness (about 10-15 minutes). If you prefer, broil the plain fish fillets for about 5 minutes and then spread topping on each fillet and continue broiling.

Basa is a lean fish offering quality protein.
