Add the vegetables to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Pat the Basa fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.Once the skillet is hot, add the Basa fillets, skin side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy.
- Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer the cooked Basa fillets to serving plates. Top each fillet with a generous dollop of Sweet Chilli Lime Butter.
- Serve the Basa fillets alongside the steamed vegetables.
- Enjoy your Basa fillets with Sweet Chilli Lime Butter and steamed vegetables!
