Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, lemon zest, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Beat the egg in a separate shallow dish and set aside.
Pat the sea bass fillets dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Dip each fillet into the beaten egg, making sure it is well-coated.
Next, dredge the fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres to both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the coated sea bass fillets to the skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
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.
Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the crispy fried sea bass with lemon wedges on the side.
