Crispy golden squids or Camalari baked in the oven for a guilt-free delicious seafood meal. Dip them in lime basil mayo for the best combination of flavors.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the lime zest, lime juice and minced basil leaves. Mix well and adjust with salt and pepper if necessary. Cover with foil and let it rest in the fridge.
Make the Calamari:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the minced parsley, minced garlic and salt.
Clean the squids, then coat them with the breadcrumbs mixture and set them on a lined baking tray.
Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on top, then bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
Notes
Note: If the breadcrumb coating doesn't stick to the calamari, brush them lightly in olive oil or milk before coating them with the breadcrumbs.
