A delightful and easy-to-make fish recipe with a crispy sesame crust.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
Use medium heat to prevent the oil from burning.
Brush the fish fillets with the egg white and season with salt and black pepper.
Ensure the fish is evenly coated for a consistent crust.
Press the sesame seeds onto one side of each fillet to coat thickly.
Press firmly to ensure the seeds adhere well.
Place the fillets sesame-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Do not move the fillets while cooking to maintain the crust.
Transfer the fillets sesame-side up onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
Baking ensures the fish is cooked evenly and remains moist.
Serve the sesame-crusted fish fillets warm with your favorite sides.
Garnish with a wedge of lemon for added freshness.
