Preparing pangasius

Pangasius is usually sold in fillets and can be found in most supermarkets. When purchasing pangasius fillets, look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly sweet, clean smell. Avoid fillets that have a fishy odor or are soft and mushy. To prepare pangasius, rinse the fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
If your pangasius fillets are frozen, leave them on a plate in the fridge to thaw before cooking.
