Oh So Flaky Crusted Sea Bass!


This is the perfect recipe for sea bass. It is a very mild white fish. I found the best crust for pan searing fish is cornflake crumbs. Sea bass can provide lots of health benefits to your diet since it contains omega-3 fatty acids, which help to prevent heart disease and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Sea bass is a good source of vitamins A and D.

  • 2 lbs. sea bass cut into fillet portions
  • 1 Egg white, whisked
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 cups cornflake crumbs
  • ¼ cup flour
  • olive oil
  • lemon wedges

Salt and pepper the fish fillets. Combine milk and egg white into a shallow dish, whisk well. Combine flour, cornflakes, garlic powder and onion powder in a shallow pan, mix well. Dip fish in to milk mixture and then into the flour/cornflake mixture. 

Heat just enough oil to coat bottom in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish about 7 minutes on each side or until the fish is flaky.

Serve with lemon wedges and/or pesto oil.

NOTE: Lemon rice and corn on the cob are a nice side dishes.
