This Creamy Fish Fillet Casserole is an easy and scrumptious weeknight dinner. Plus, it’s ready in 30 minutes!!
If you’re a seafood person…welp, this recipe is perfect for you!
Let me introduce you to what my kids called “the pink fish”. My kids really like this dish; I think they like it because of the pink sauce. I usually make it a quick weeknight meal because I know they’ll eat it without complaint. Plus, it also has enough flavor and kicks to keep the adults happy!
This time I used the Basa fish fillets that I picked up at my local Asian supermarket. It was my first time trying this fish, but I was pleasantly surprised. This fish has a very mild fish flavor. It’s moist and slightly firm. I will definitely buy it again. But don’t worry if you can’t find Basa fillets. This recipe also works great with many types of white fish fillets, including tilapia or mahi-mahi.
The star of this recipe is the sauce…Hands down the best sauce for fish EVER!!
The sauce is actually quite refreshing rather than rich and heavy. It’s very simple to make, with 4 everyday ingredients: Clamato®, evaporated milk, lime juice, and cornstarch.
This is a great simple recipe to add to your repertoire!
