Pangasius, a white fish with delicate flesh, is known for its versatility and cooks quickly, making it ideal for meals where time is essential. Additionally, this recipe incorporates fresh and aromatic vegetables that not only enrich the taste but also bring a wealth of nutritional benefits.

Ingredients:

- 1 pangasius fillet (approx. 300-400g)
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 lemon
- 2-3 tablespoons of capers
- Salt and white pepper, to taste
- 2 garlic cloves
- 100g butter
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 200g Mexican vegetable mix (carrots, corn, peas, peppers)

Necessary utensils:

- Vegetable cutter
- Sauté pan
- Baking dish or yena dish
- Knife and cutting board
- Wooden spoon

Step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Start by washing the tomatoes and lemon well. Cut the tomatoes into slices about 1 cm thick. For the lemon, slice it thinly, taking care to remove the seeds if necessary. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Now is the perfect time to prepare your pangasius fillet, which you will season with salt and white pepper on both sides.

Step 2: Sauté the vegetables
In a pan, add 100g of butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the Mexican vegetable mix. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. This process will intensify the flavors and add a delicious texture to your dish.

Step 3: Assemble the dish
In a baking dish or yena dish, place the sautéed vegetable mix in an even layer. Lay the pangasius fillet on top of the vegetables, then arrange the tomato and lemon slices alternately, forming a beautiful colorful mosaic.

Step 4: Add the flavors
Sprinkle the garlic slices over the fish and add the capers. Drizzle with a little white wine (about 50 ml) to add a touch of acidity and highlight the flavors. Finally, add a pinch of salt and pepper for a balanced taste.

Step 5: Bake
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the dish in the oven and let it bake for about 15 minutes. During this time, the fish will cook perfectly, and the vegetables will absorb the delicious flavors from the wine and garlic.

Step 6: Serve
After the cooking time has expired, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This pangasius with vegetables recipe is served warm, directly from the dish, to retain all the juiciness and flavors. You can garnish it with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of color and freshness.

Useful tips:

- Variations: You can experiment with other vegetables, such as zucchini or mushrooms, depending on the season and your preferences. If you like stronger flavors, add a few slices of chili peppers for a touch of spice.
- Cooking the fish: Check if the fish is cooked by gently poking it with a fork; the flesh should be opaque and flake easily.
- Serving: This recipe pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad. Additionally, a glass of dry white wine will enhance the flavors of the dish.
- Calories and nutritional benefits: This dish is a healthy option, rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, thanks to the fish. Tomatoes provide antioxidants, and lemon offers vitamin C, helping to strengthen the immune system.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I substitute pangasius with another fish?
Yes, you can use other types of white fish, such as cod or tilapia, which will behave similarly when cooked.

- What can I do with the leftovers?
If you have leftover food, you can use it the next day in sandwiches or salads, adding a yogurt-based dressing for extra freshness.

- How can I make the recipe spicier?
Add chili flakes to the vegetable mix or sprinkle a little cayenne pepper over the fish fillet before baking.
