Add a teaspoon of Italian herbs, oregano, paprika, chiliflakes, basil(i have added dried basil here),salt as per taste and a pinch of sugar to balance the flavour.
Add the marinated basa into the mix. Be careful while adding the basa fillets as after marination the fish becomes softer.
Add the orange juice(the juice has been freshly squeezed from 2 oranges and strained to avoid the pulp and the seeds) and cook till the fish is properly cooked.
