The Best Chilean Sea Bass - The best fish I've ever tasted $$$$














Fried Chilean Sea Bass with Peppers 

4 servings

4 slices or fillets of sea bass
2 limes
Adobo
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
Fresh ground pepper
2 tbs olive oil
1 garlic clove - I use garlic press, because I don't like large pieces of garlic

1 sliced yellow pepper
1 sliced orange or red pepper
2 tbs olive oil
Fresh ground pepper
1 tbs of crushed red pepper flakes (less or more)
1/2 tsp vinegar
salt

Panko bread crumbs
Fresh ground pepper
Salt or adobo

2 eggs slightly beaten add a little water
1 cup of all purpose flour
oil

I rinse fish, coat fish with olive oil, squeeze 2 limes, add pepper, adobo, garlic and cilantro, mix well making sure fish is well coated.  Marinate for about 1 or 2 hours.   Don't leave overnight, because of the lime, it may fall apart, or add all other ingredients and marinate over night and add lime a little before cooking.

Preheat the oven to 400 f.
Set out a plate with the egg wash, one with the flour and then another with the panko bread crumbs, season panko with pepper, adobo or salt.

Heat up oil in heavy base frying pan, dredge fish in flour slightly, dip fish in egg wash, then in panko make sure the panko sticks to all sides and place in frying pan, do this to all 4 pieces of fish.

Fry for a few minutes maybe 3 or 4 minutes, on each side making sure it gets golden brown, then place in heat proof pan or aluminum pan and finish cooking in oven.  The amount of time frying depends on how thick the slices of fish are.  The idea is to get fish to a golden brown, it can finish cooking in the oven.  I made this a few days ago and I got fish steaks, which are round instead of fillets and they were pretty thick so the frying was a little longer.

Heat up 2 tbs of olive oil, add red pepper flakes fry for a minute or so, then add peppers, and season with pepper and salt, lastly add vinegar.  Fry for a few more minutes until peppers soften.  Plate dirty rice, fish and colorful peppers over fish.  In picture peppers have been blended in food processor and fried a little more, but I like them better just fried.
