About this dish

Panga fillets served with rice and thinly sliced zucchini cooked with garlic, olive oil, lemon and parsley. Panga is a mild white freshwater fish, mostly farmed in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and usually sold frozen. Its mild flavor takes well to lemon and garlic, so a squeeze of lemon at the end matters.
