A few years ago I attended a cooking class with Tony Mantuano, the owner-chef of Tuttaposto, then a very trendy restaurant in Chicago. This was one of the recipes he showed us. A fast and tasty dish.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 ounces fillets white-fleshed fish (4 fillets)
1 cup sesame seeds
3 egg whites, beaten until frothy
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper
cornmeal

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick pan.
  • Brush fillets with the egg whites and season with salt and pepper.
  • Coat thickly on one side only with the sesame seeds.
  • Saute in oil, seed side down, until golden brown.
  • Place seed side up on a cornmeal sprinkled baking pan and bake at 400 deg. until done - this will depend on the thickness of your fillets, probably will take about 5 minutes.
  • Or, you can just turn over and panfry until done.
  • Note1: Chef recommended grouper or red snapper; I've made this also with tilapia.
  • Note2: Baking is really handy if you are making a larger quantity - that way you can finish all the fillets at the same time.
