Description
A crispy, cheesy air-fried fish recipe perfect for healthy meal prep. This Parmesan Crusted Chilean Sea Bass is gluten-free, protein-rich, and paired with roasted vegetables for a complete, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
2 Chilean sea bass fillets (about 1 pound total)
1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon Creole-style seasoning (no pork ingredients)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
Coconut oil spray (for greasing)
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
1 cup sliced baby potatoes
1 ear fresh corn, husked
Extra Parmesan and cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
2. Pat the sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel.
3. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, dried cilantro, Creole seasoning, and salt.
4. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the fillets. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each piece. Let them rest for 5 minutes so the coating adheres.
5. While the fish is resting, lightly spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil spray. Add the sliced potatoes, broccoli florets, and whole corn cob. Cook for 8 minutes.
6. Remove the vegetables from the air fryer and set aside.
7. Carefully place the coated sea bass fillets into the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F and the crust is golden.
8. Cut the corn off the cob after cooking.
9. Serve or portion into containers with half the fish and veggies in each. Garnish with extra Parmesan and cilantro if desired.
Notes
You can substitute other vegetables based on the season. To reheat, use an air fryer or oven at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to retain crispiness.
