Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free needs, skip the yogurt-style finish and use olive oil or a dairy-free creamy sauce instead. If fish is off the table, swap the basa for firm tofu or chickpeas; rice and vegetables already suit gluten-free and vegetarian diets.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp cucumber salad, lemon wedges, or simple steamed greens to keep the plate bright and balanced. A spoonful of yogurt or a mild herb sauce also works well if you want extra creaminess without overpowering the fish.
