2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 cup cornmeal

4 (4 ounce) fillets swai fish

2 tablespoons canola oil

1/4 cup water

Combine red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread corn meal into a shallow bowl. Season swai fish with red pepper flake mixture and press each fillet into cornmeal to coat. Wrap coated fillets in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Unwrap fish and place in the hot oil; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Add water, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook, flipping occasionally, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
