“BREADED” SEA BASS IN GARLIC BUTTER

 

Those are lemon slices, not limes.  In Panama lemons are small and green in color.  For the longest time upon arriving I only bought imported yellow lemons as I thought the Panamanian lemons were limes! The breading on the fish soaked up a lot of the garlic butter.  It was so good!



This time (below) I made the recipe, but used a pan that was no longer nonstick - that is a mistake as the breading will stick to the pan.  Note to self - buy a new nonstick frying pan!  There was quite a bit of garlic butter in the pan and I drizzled it over each piece of fish.  The fish soaks it up and is so yummy!  A squeeze of lemon juice for perfect flavor!  


“BREADED” SEA BASS IN GARLIC BUTTER

A very quick and easy meal to prepare when time and energy is a factor. Sometimes simple is best!  This meal was so good.  I took one bite of the fish and was excited to eat my meal.

 

4 to 5 small fish fillets

Olive oil for frying

Garlic Butter:

2 tbsp butter (30 mL)

2 tbsp light-tasting olive oil (30 mL)

2 tsp minced garlic (10 mL)

“Breading”:

1/3 cup Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR (75 mL)

  almond flour and a bit of coconut flour

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese (30 mL)

1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)

1/4 tsp black pepper (1 mL)

1 egg

Lemon slices

 

Pat fish fillets dry.  If they are frozen, thaw in a bowl with tap running cool water over the fillets.  Once thawed, pat dry with paper towels (they will still be wet but not soaking wet).   

Garlic butter:  In nonstick frying pan, place butter and pour in olive oil.  Add minced garlic and cook until barely turning light brown.  Turn off the burner and set the frying pan aside. 

In small bowl, beat egg with fork.   

“Breading”:  In another small bowl, combine Gluten-FreeBake Mix 2, page, OR almond flour-coconut flour mix, Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper. 

Dip fish fillets in egg wash and then spoon “Breading” over each fillet on both sides.  

In large nonstick frying pan, in olive oil and over medium heat, cook all the fish fillets on one side, and when browning, turn them over and cook the other side, turning again, if necessary.  Cook time is approximately 7 minutes.  Towards the end of cook time, heat up the garlic butter and place the fish fillets in the garlic butter. Cook a further 1 to 2 minutes.  Serve right away with lemon slices.
