Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Pat dry the sea bass fillets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and set aside.
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.
In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Gradually add cold sparkling water to the flour mixture while whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter.
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.
Dip each sea bass fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, then carefully place it into the hot skillet.
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.
Remove the cooked fillets from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the crispy fried sea bass with lemon slices and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
