Ingredients
- 4 Chilean sea bass fillets about 6 ounces each

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
Prepare the Fish
- Pat the sea bass dry using paper towels. Dry fish helps get a better texture while cooking.
Season Simply
- Rub olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over each fillet.
Heat the Pan
- Heat an oven-safe skillet on medium heat. Add butter and let it melt gently.
Sear the Fish
- Place fish in the pan, skin side down. Cook for three minutes until lightly golden.
Add Flavor
- Add garlic and lemon slices to the pan. Spoon butter over the fish gently.
Finish in Oven
- Move the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F. Cook for ten minutes until flaky.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove from oven. Sprinkle parsley on top. Serve hot with lemon slices.
Notes
- Always pat fish dry before seasoning.
- Do not overcook. The fish should flake easily.
- Use fresh lemon for best taste.
- Keep seasoning light to enjoy fish flavor.
