Ingredients
- 2 pieces sea bass fillets
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside on a plate.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the egg until the yolk and white are fully combined.
Step 4
Dip each sea bass fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it is completely covered, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture. Press the fillet into the mixture to ensure an even coating on all sides. Repeat with the second fillet.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated sea bass fillets in the skillet. Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the fillets are golden brown and crispy. Flip them gently to avoid breaking the delicate coating.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the skillet and let them drain briefly on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy-fried sea bass hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fillets.
