Ingredients
- 4 sea bass fillets 6-8 ounces each, as you desire
- 1/3 cup flour for dredging
- 2 eggs beaten, for coating
- 1/2 cup panko for coating

Instructions
- About an hour before you'd like to eat, take your fish out of the fridge.
- Prepare your flour, eggs and panko into separate containers for your breading process.
- Take each fillet and lightly dredge in flour, coat in the beaten eggs and then completely cover with panko crumbs and let sit on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before you cook them.
- Heat oven proof pan on stove and add your cooking oil of choice, I use avocado oil and butter for this recipe.
- Once butter has melted and is sizzling a bit, add your fish fillets and let brown, but not burn.
- Turn fillets and nicely brown the second side, no burning allowed!
- Insert oven proof thermometer probe into center of one pan fried sea bass fillet, and place entire pan into pre-heated oven until thermometer reads 145.
- Remove from oven and serve.
