Ingredients
- 4 medium seabass fillets
- 4 tablespoon plain flour
- ½ teaspoon salt optional
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme or fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder or onion granules
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or garlic granules
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or any cooking oil
Instructions
- Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a large plate. To a small bowl, add and combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, ground ginger, thyme, onion powder and garlic powder.
- Using a spoon sprinkle half the seasoned flour onto the 4 fillets making sure you sprinkle it evenly. Turn the fillets onto the other sides and sprinkle the rest of the seasoned flour onto the fillets. Rub the seasoning into the fillets then set the fillets aside for 10 minutes.
- Place a frying pan on a medium to high heat and add the oil. Once the oil heats, add the fillets to the frying pan with the skin facing down. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes then turn the fillets and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes until crispy and golden in colour. If your frying pan is small you can cook 2 fillets at a time. Cooked fillets should reach 63oC/145oF.
- Place the cooked fillets onto a plate lined with kitchen towel and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
