I made this recipe whilst on my Sicilian cookery class this summer and just loved the simplicity of ingredients contrasting with great flavour and elegance. On Sicily as on the Italian mainland, the meal is divided into courses so this would be eaten alone or with a small side dish after pasta.

However it can be enjoyed with your favourite potatoes and vegetables in season. It is a quick and tasty seabass recipe, perfect for dinner parties. Prepare the crumb mix advance and then oven bake when your sit down for dinner!
