Pan-Fried Sutchi with Kiwi Sauce

Hello everyone! This new blogspace stores and records all my tried and tested tasty recipes which I would like to share with you.

Most people love to cook with freshest available ingredients but find it near impossible to visit supermarket everyday, that's when frozen items come to rescue. He he.

I bought a bag of frozen Sutchi (Pangasius Hypophthalmus) fillets from NTUC (freezer section) recently and used its suggested recipe to make a meal. The fish tasted fresh and firm and with my slightly modified kiwi sauce, I found it rather enjoyable.

This takes no time to cook so I find it suitable for weeknights. And so I decide to post this recipe on this blog for you. Try it, you may be pleasantly surprised. :)

Serves 2

2 pieces Sutchi fillet
1/4 tsp Salt

40g Cucumber
1/2 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Lemon juice

20g can Pineapple (in real pineapple juice; diced to achieve consistent cube size like the kiwis)
40g Cucumber (diced, same size as above; i used japanese cucumber)
1/2 tbsp Sugar (I don't add sugar in my cooking so I substituted sugar with pineapple juice)
1 tbsp Lemon juice (add a little a a time, taste before and after adding juice to make sure it doesn't taste too acidic)
1/4 tsp Salt (opt; I don't add salt to my cooking either, I opted out)
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 finely chopped medium red onion
5-6 cherry tomatoes (diced, same size as above, cherry tomatoes are sweet in nature, so really...you don't need to add sugar)

  3. Pour kiwi sauce over fish and serve with steam greens &/or potatoes &/or crusty bread &/or steam rice.
