Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the sea bass fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, crack the egg and beat it until well mixed. This will be used for coating.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure oil is hot but not smoking before frying.
Step 5
Dip each sea bass fillet into the egg wash, ensuring a full coating.
Step 6
Transfer the egg-coated fillet directly into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere on all sides.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated fillets into the hot oil in the skillet. Fry for approximately 3-5 minutes per side or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Finely chop the fresh parsley and scatter it over the fried sea bass for a fresh garnish.
Step 10
Cut the lemon into wedges and serve the sea bass with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of citrus before eating.
