Best Cumin Crusted Sea Bass Recipes

CUMIN CRUSTED CHILEAN SEA BASS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a dry large skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds for 2 minutes or until they just begin to smoke.
• Grind together the cumin, salt, and pepper in a mortar and pestle or other grinding tool (I use an electric coffee grinder) until finely ground.
• Rub the cumin mixture on both sides of the sea bass fillets.
• Heat the oil and butter together in an oven-safe pan/skillet over medium-high heat, then add the fish and brown each side of the fillets for 2 minutes.
• Transfer pan to the oven (you can wrap the handle of the pan with foil, if necessary), and bake for 4 to 5 minutes or until the fillets flake easily when tested with a fork.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges and serve.
