Tortilla-Crusted Swai

by Maribel Rivero

View Profile

Contains Soy

Tree Nut Free

Peanut Free

A tortilla crust gives this tender Swai fillet its golden armor—pan-seared, then oven-finished until the edges take on a warm, toasted finish. It’s served with a refreshing salad rooted in Latin American tradition, built on the time-honored trio of corn, beans, and chiles. Jícama adds a cool, slightly sweet contrast, while a dollop of poblano aioli—smoky, creamy, and rich—brings the dish full circle.
