I live alone so I only cook for one. Here is something I tried today that worked out quite well. Using a throw-away aluminum foil tin usually designed for loaf cakes, I pour in about half a cup of olive oil, added a pile of mayonnaise until it was well mixed and looked creamy, added some lemon juice, garlic powder and a good dose of curry powder. I then lightly sprinkled some cornstarch over top of it and made sure it was fully mixed in. I washed a partially frozen Basa fillet and dried it before putting it in the container. I soaked in the mixture until both sides were well covered. I then put the container on a cookie pan in the totally cold oven, set the oven to cook at 350 degrees F for about half an hour. It came out a golden brown. I put it on a plate, scooped all of the mayonnaise mixture out of the separated oil and used it to flavour the finished fillet. It was quite delicious and I only regret that I ate it all before adding the vegetables that are currently boiling on the stove. You will have to use your own brain to figure what is best for the size of family you are feeding but if you like a mild white fish and curry this gives you a most enjoyable meal.
