Sea Bass Crusted With Pepitas And Coriander Recipes

SEA BASS CRUSTED WITH PEPITAS AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• Heat heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add coriander; stir about 2 minutes. Transfer coriander to blender and blend until coarsely ground. Add breadcrumbs, pepitas and salt to blender; pulse until pepitas are coarsely chopped. Transfer mixture to baking sheet.
• Place flour in pie dish. Whisk eggs to blend in medium bowl. Sprinkle fish with pepper. Dip both sides of each fish fillet into flour; shake off excess. Dip fish into eggs, then into breadcrumb mixture, coating completely.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium-high heat. Add 2 fish fillets to each skillet and cook just until fish is opaque in center and coating is golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve fish with lemon wedges.

SEA BASS CRUSTED WITH SESAME SEED CANDIES

Steps:

• Grind the sesame seed candies into a rough powder, leaving a few chunks for texture.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the 1 cup of bread crumbs, fresh herbs, ground sesame seed candies and the 3 tablespoons of oil together in a small bowl. The oil should wet the crumbs and will help to keep the crumbs on the fish.
• In a large hot skillet add 4 tablespoons of canola oil. When the oil is hot add the fish and sear 1 side until golden brown. Remove the fish from the pan to a large oven-proof serving dish and allow to cool slightly, around 3 minutes.
• Using a spatula flip the fish over and lightly coat the seared side of the fish with the mustard. Cover the top of the fish with the bread crumb mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flesh is firm, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
