Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound Sea Bass (skin on or off)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
pinch Sea Salt
pinch Black Pepper
optional 1/2 cup Chimichurri, see recipe footnotes

Steps:

  • Cut SEA BASS filet down the center to create 2 pieces (1/2 lb. each). Allow to rest 20 minutes at room temp to remove chill.
  • Heat OLIVE OIL in skillet over medium-high until it reaches the smoke point.
  • Place sea bass (skin side down) in the hot skillet. Sprinkle SALT and PEPPER over the filet.
  • If you want crispy skin, press the filet down firmly with a spatula until it becomes visibly crispy. Turn the filet over and allow the non-skin side to sear until the filet is opaque throughout, reducing heat a notch or two as needed.
  • Transfer the filet to a plate and allow to rest a few minutes.
  • Serve sea bass warm with your favorite salad and side dish. Suggested: serve over salad greens topped with Chimichurri Sauce (see recipe in footnotes).

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) sea bass fillets
1 pinch seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
6 ounces pineapple juice
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup chicken stock
8 ounces heavy cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Pat fish dry with paper towels and lightly season with seafood seasoning.
  • Coat an ovenproof skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat until oil begins to shimmer but not smoke, about 1 minute. Place seasoned fish in the hot skillet and cook until lightly brown on 1 side, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn fish over and place skillet in the preheated oven. Roast until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer fish to a plate and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Drain any excess oil from the skillet and return to the stove over medium-high heat. Add pineapple juice and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Add wine, chicken stock, and cream. Simmer until as thick as desired, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, add mustard and butter. Whisk until melted and smooth. Serve sauce over roasted sea bass.
