How to make broiled corvina

February 7, 2022

Home » Seafood

Broiled corvina is a lightening fast meal, perfect for weeknight cooking. Season corvina with your favorite spice blend and slide under the broiler. In under 10 minutes, you’ll have perfectly cooked fish for a delicious, low-fat dinner.

We all know that fish is a great protein. Corvina is low in fat, with only 1.7 grams for a 5 ounce serving, and clocks in with an impressive 28 grams of protein.

Broiling is a quick and healthy way to have fish for dinner. This fish falls right in line with a Mediterranean diet. It is heart-healthy, low in calories and is an excellent source of lean protein.

How to broil corvina

Broiling corvina, or any fish for that matter, is a snap. Fish generally cooks quicker than other proteins, but cranking up the heat reduces the time to under 10 minutes.

Place the portions of corvina on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fish is notorious for sticking to the pan.

Even if you have non-stick sheet pans, I advise placing a piece of parchment on the pan to prevent it from sticking.

Season the corvina

First, we need to season the fish. You can use any seasoning you like. I keep a jar of my homemade Cajun seasoning handy at all times, for a quick flavor booster.

It’s a great way to use up your spices and it’s much less expensive than buying it.

Adjust the oven rack so it is about 6 inches below the broiler. Turn on the broiler and let it heat up before sliding fish into the oven.

What do I need to make broiled corvina?

The best part about this recipe is that you don’t really need any special equipment. There are a few basics which you likely already own, but this is everything you’ll need for this recipe.

Quarter sheet pans – This size baking sheet will hold 2 – 4 pieces of corvina, depending on the size of the fillets.
Parchment paper – This keeps the fish from sticking.
Sharp chefs knife or boning knife – I buy sides of fish, so I need a sharp knife to cut them into portions. Everyone needs a good knife, even if you buy your fish already portioned into fillets.

How long to broil fish?

The corvina will cook in 6 – 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. As you can see, mine was an inch and a half thick. It was fully cooked in just over 7 minutes.

I love broiled fish. Those little bits of char give the corvina so much flavor, along with the spice blend.

This is a perfect weeknight meal, because it is super speedy and you can pair it with any vegetables that you like for a fast and nutritious dinner.

There you have it. A delicious and healthy way to get more fish into your diet in under ten minutes.

How to make pan fried corvina fish recipe

Home » Seafood

Pan fried corvina is a fast and delicious weeknight dinner. Topped with a crispy, golden crust, the delicate fish cooks up juicy and flaky. No more disappointing fish dinners – this corvina filet delivers the crunch you crave.

Like my baked corvina recipe, this quick and easy recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners. I love fried fish, but I do not love deep-frying. This version gives me the crunchy texture that I want without having to plunge the corvina into a vat of oil.

How to make pan fried corvina

The first step is to set up your breading station. We will use a SBP (standard breading procedure) for the fish – flour, egg and breadcrumb.

I’m using panko breadcrumbs because they give me the best crunch factor. The finer, seasoned breadcrumb we are all familiar with don’t quite deliver the same super crispy coating.

Standard breading procedure of flour, egg and breadcrumb in separate bowls.

Once you have your breading ingredients ready, it’s a matter of dipping them into the flour, egg, then breadcrumb and letting them sit while the pan heats up on the stove.

Add enough oil to come up about an 1/8th of an inch up the side of the pan. We don’t need much oil, just enough to crisp up the panko coating before the fish goes into the oven.

Because we are only frying the coated side of the fish, we’ll transfer the fillets to a sheet pan and let the corvina finish cooking in the oven.

Ingredients

To make this pan-fried corvina recipe, we’ll need ingredients for the standard breading procedure (shown above) and some fish.

I like to add herbs to my panko for extra flavor. You can use dried or fresh, whatever you have. If you’re using fresh, stick with heartier herbs like parsley. Delicate herbs like dill will burn. The dried version of those is best to use here.

Always season your flour with salt and pepper, it gives the pan fried corvina flavor. A bit of lemon zest on top of the fish is nice, for an extra layer of flavor.

Fried corvina fish recipe

I recommend using a cast iron pan to cook the corvina fillets. It heats evenly and in my experience, fish doesn’t stick to the pan. We don’t want to lose that crispy, golden crust after we’ve put the effort into creating a perfect one, do we?

As soon as the breaded side of the corvina is fried to a golden brown, remove it from the pan. Flip it over and place it on a parchment-lined sheet pan, then slide it onto the oven.

If you prefer to finish cooking the fish in the pan, I’d suggest wiping the pan out to remove some of the oil before returning the fish to the pan to cook through.

What can I serve with fried corvina?
