Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.75 cup cold sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sliced lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the sea bass fillets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, and rub this spice mix evenly on both sides of the sea bass fillets.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Step 4
Gradually add cold sparkling water to the flour mixture while whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter.
Step 5
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil and unsalted butter over medium-high heat until the butter has melted and the oil is shimmering.
Step 6
Dip each sea bass fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, then carefully place it into the hot skillet.
Step 7
Cook each fillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried sea bass with lemon slices and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
