Roasted Basa Fillets with Artichoke and Crab Relish
4 6-ounce Basa fillets
Juice of one lemon, divided
Garlic Powder
Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 10-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Cayenne, salt and black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven on Convection Bake to 375 degrees or regular bake

juice, then season to taste with garlic powder, Cajun seasoning,
salt and pepper. Place fillets in a baking dish and bake for 8 to
10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms and green onions and saute until the mushrooms
are golden. Add the remaining lemon juice, artichoke hearts,
crabmeat, thyme, oregano, garlic powder and cayenne, salt and

the relish.
