Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 sheet parchment paper
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, lemon zest, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Beat the egg in a separate shallow dish and set aside.
Step 4
Pat the sea bass fillets dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 5
Dip each fillet into the beaten egg, making sure it is well-coated.
Step 6
Next, dredge the fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres to both sides.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Add the coated sea bass fillets to the skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once all fillets are fried, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to ensure the fish is cooked through.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 11
Serve the crispy fried sea bass with lemon wedges on the side.
