Peixe assado com crosta de batata chips

Ingredientes

• 4 pieces sea bass (or grouper (4-5 ounces each))
• 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 cups salt and vinegar potato chips ((3/4 cup crushed chips))
• Salt (and pepper)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set the sea bass on the parchment and pat dry with a paper towel.

2. 2

   Brush just the tops of the sea bass fillets with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Then place the potato chips in a food processor and pulse until the chips are broken into fine crumbs. (You can also crush the potato chips by placing them in a large zip bag and crushing with a rolling pin.)

4. 4

   Pour the crumbs on a plate. Press the top of each piece of sea bass into the crushed potato chips, then set them back on the parchment with the potato chip crust up.

5. 5

   Bake the sea bass for 10-15 minutes—10 minutes for thinner pieces and 15 minutes for pieces closer to 2 inches thick. Be very careful not to over to overcook. Sea bass is better enjoyed slightly undercooked than over cooked. Serve warm.
