MATZO-CRUSTED SWAI

MATZO-CRUSTED SWAI FOR PASSOVER

So, for the second day of Passover, we faced the real important question: “How do we use up ALL this Matzo Meal, that we didn’t use to make 112 matzo balls?”  We decided to make one of our favorite dishes – Pan Sautéed Spiced Swai, but with a matzo meal crust.  One of the spices we use is rosemary, and because it grows wild in the area, we were able to use fresh rosemary.  Dried works just as well.

SWAI

2/3 cup matzo meal

1 tsp. dried thyme

1 tsp. cumin

½ tsp. hot or regular paprika

1 tsp. dried basil

1 tsp. rosemary

2 swai fillets, about 1 pound

4 Tbsp. olive or canola oil

Directions

1. 1.   Mix together the matzo meal and spices.
2. 2.   Rinse off the swai fillets, and dredge them in the meal-spice mixture until well coated.
3. 3.   Pour the oil into a large skillet.  Heat, and add the fillets and cook until browned on each side.
4. 4.   Serve.
