- 1 tablespoon red chili paste
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger

- 2 tablespoons canned tomato puree (or 1 tablespoon tomato paste)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 360℉ (180℃).
- Rinse basa fillets and drain well.
- Arrange the basa fillets on a baking tray in a single layer and dab them with paper tissues to get rid of any extra moisture.

- Brush the marinade on both sides of the fish fillets.
- Keep the tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the fish is flaky.
- Note – If you have a candy thermometer, then check the internal temperature of the cooked fish, it should be 140-145℉ (60-65℃).

Notes
- For best results, let the fish marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Serve with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
