Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 240 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 1 whole egg
- 150 grams breadcrumbs
- 5 grams garlic powder
- 5 grams paprika
- 10 grams salt
- 5 grams black pepper
- 1 lemon lemon zest
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by patting the sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Set up three shallow bowls: one with 120 grams of all-purpose flour combined with 30 grams of cornstarch, another with 240 milliliters of unsweetened almond milk whisked with one egg, and the third with 150 grams of breadcrumbs mixed with 5 grams of garlic powder, 5 grams of paprika, 10 grams of salt, 5 grams of black pepper, and the zest of one lemon.
Dredge each sea bass fillet in the flour and cornstarch mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then shake off any excess.
Next, dip the fillet into the almond milk and egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, press the fillet into the seasoned breadcrumbs, coating it evenly and pressing firmly to adhere. Repeat the process for all fillets.
In a large frying pan, heat 500 milliliters of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the coated sea bass fillets in the hot oil, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dairy-free condiment or a slice of lemon.
