This pangasius in tomato-saffron sauce is delicious and easy. I wanted to do something with fish in the oven and saffron sauce. The pangasius fillet was offered with a rebate, so that decision was taken quite fast. Then I looked at the ingredients I had available at home and made this combination.

Notes
If you don’t like pangasius, you can also use another kind of white fish of course. Pangasius is a typical fish of the South-East Asian region. Internationally it is known under different names: basa fish in North America and Australia. In the UK it is marketed as panga or cobbler, often with the addition “catfish”.
