1/2 cup shelled pepitas, toasted
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 large eggs
4 6-ounce sea bass fillets
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add coriander; stir about 2 minutes. Transfer coriander to blender and blend until coarsely ground. Add breadcrumbs, pepitas and salt to blender; pulse until pepitas are coarsely chopped. Transfer mixture to baking sheet.
