If you’ve ever tasted potato-crusted sea bass in a restaurant and wished you could have it at home, this version is for you. Store-bought potato flakes and a salad dressing mix combine for a great coating that’s a breeze to whip up. –Judi Markert, Mentor-on-the-Lake, Ohio

  • 1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 pounds sea bass fillets or halibut steaks
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
