Potato Chip Crusted Baked Fish Recipe

This 3-ingredient potato chip crusted sea bass (or grouper) recipe is easy to make in the oven, and without a batter or any heavy breading! It features fork-flaky baked white fish filets coated in crunchy salt and vinegar potato chips for a fabulous "fish and chips"-inspired meal.

📝 Ingredients

• 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)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat 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. 2Brush just the tops of the sea bass fillets with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper.
3. 3Then 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. 4Pour 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. 5Bake 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.
