Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sea bass fillets
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the sea bass fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and combine Parmesan cheese with breadcrumbs in a third.

- Stir in heavy cream and whisk in butter until fully emulsified.
- Serve the crispy sea bass alongside roasted baby vegetables, drizzle with lemon beurre blanc, and garnish with basil oil, microgreens, and a Parmesan tuile.
