Bacon Wrapped Swai

Submitted by Zaney1

"I found this recipe online when I was looking for something to do with my Swai fillets. Swai is similar to catfish with its white flesh, but has a milder flavor and more delicate texture. The recipe came from Milk & Honey Naturals. The fish stayed nice and tender (not dry at all) and the broiling at the end crisped up the bacon nicely."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 swai fish fillets
• 1⁄4 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
• 6 -8 slices thin cut bacon

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Liberally grease a baking sheet or line with foil.
3. I lined mine with foil and it didn't stick to the foil at all.
4. Lightly sprinkle the fillets with the Italian seasoning.
5. Lay out 3-4 strips of uncooked bacon depending on how long your fillets are.
6. Lay a fillet on top of the bacon.
7. Wrap the bacon around the fillet so that there are few gaps between the slices.
8. I overlapped some of my slices-it was fine.
9. Repeat the process for the other fillet.
10. Bake at 400 for 30 minuets.
11. After the 30 minutes are up, broil on High for 1-3 minutes to crisp up the bacon.
12. Watch it carefully so the bacon doesn't burn.

Great recipe, so simple. I used Old Bay seasoning. Thanks!

I am not a fan of fish as a rule. Most definitely the best I've ever had. The whole family loved it and they were arguing over who got the last 2 fillets.

I am sorry, but I found this fish to be very mushy. Maybe I am not a fan of Swai. Mine was frozen but when I thawed it the fish was quite thick and was not mush. I even dried it with paper towels so there wouldn't be any extra moisture. I didn't care for the Italian seasoning. It just seemed out of place with the fish. I have never tried Swai before. I probably won't be doing this again. I gave it 2 stars for bacon, who doesn't like bacon. The bacon underneath was not cooked very well either. On top it was crisp. I also did not overcook it. It was in there for exactly 30 minutes.

Okay...I am going to be the first to admit that when I came across this recipe earlier today I said "Ummmm.....hmmmmm....I don't know". BUT seeing as I had all 3 ingredients (a definite bonus right there) I said..."eh...why not".<br/><br/>WOW!!! I honestly did not know what to expect but this was really really good! Good enough that the steak and taters husband went for 2nds!!! I do think next time I make it I will make sure to go to the butcher for very plain, unseasoned bacon. Ours was smoked and it wasn't bad but....
