Remember to season Swai fish lightly
Swai as mentioned before is a very mild tasting fish and does not have that strong fishy taste or smell. As a result, it should be seasoned lightly as if you were to use very strong aromatic herbs or seasoning with this fish it would over power it and you would just end up tasting seasoning. This recipe can be used with any fish in with which case you can season to taste and cooking time would remain the same.
