Roasted fish might sound a bit boring… but wait until you try this black sea bass recipe! Here, black sea bass (or Rock Bass) is coated with panko breadcrumbs and parmesan, then roasted to perfection. The result is an impressive dinner that bursts with flavor in every bite. Not to mention, this recipe is also a great way to get your omega-3 fatty acids. The first time I tried it, I knew it would be a constant part of my dinner rotation. Perfect for busy weeknights and entertaining guests!
Black sea bass fish, generally, have firm flesh and a mild, delicate flavor. Because of that, it can easily take on other flavors. It’s also super versatile and has the potential to be a delicious dinner. You can grill, poach, steam, or roast this fish. But the best way to cook sea bass, in my opinion, is to sear them first, then roast them. My black sea bass recipe is extra special because of the breading I used. I simply combined panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, thyme, parsley, and paprika. But feel free to use any herbs and spices you like!
This recipe is one of my favorite dinner recipes to date, mainly because it looks and tastes delicious. AND it’s so easy to make! Wanna know how to cook sea bass? After coating the fish filets with the breading mixture, I pan-seared them for 1 minute. Then, I roasted them in the oven for about 4 to 5 minutes. Other black sea bass recipes even require you to add the tomatoes to the skillet, next to the fish, to deliver a sweet, acidic taste to the dish. But I prefer a more simple presentation of roasted fish.
This black sea bass recipe makes a fancy-feeling meal you would want on a busy weeknight. When you plate it up, make sure to add sautéed spinach and roasted tomatoes for a decadent presentation. Or, make your dinner more delicious by serving this roasted fish alongside chopped salad or mashed potatoes.
