For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or oregano to the Melba toast crumbs.
If you don't have Melba toast, plain breadcrumbs or crushed crackers can be used as a substitute.
Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preference for spice.
Ensure the basa fillets are patted dry before coating to help the Melba toast adhere better.
Basa cooks quickly, so keep a close eye on it in the oven to prevent overcooking.
