Create the Spaetzle Batter:
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, and eggs, stirring until a sticky batter forms. -
Infuse the Nori-Sesame Mix:
Crush the Japanese roasted nori and mix it with sesame seeds. Incorporate this flavorful mix into the batter. -
Cook the Spaetzle:
Push the batter through a colander, allowing droplets to fall into boiling, salted water. Once the droplets float to the top, remove and drain them. -
Prepare the Sea Bass:
Spread mashed potato on one side of each sea bass filet. Press the spaetzle onto the potato-covered side. -
Sear the Sea Bass:
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Place the fish with the spaetzle side down, cooking until golden brown (approximately 2 to 3 minutes). -
Finish in the Oven:
Flip the sea bass over and transfer the skillet to a preheated 400-degree oven. Allow the fish to cook through for about 4 to 5 minutes. -
Lemongrass Dressing:
Drizzle the finished dish with Lemongrass Dressing. For the dressing, blend lemongrass, shallots, ginger, raspberry vinegar, and sugar in a blender. Strain the mixture for a smooth texture. -
Serve and Enjoy:
