Steps:
- Heat your oven to 450 degrees. Put wine, garlic, shallot, lemon juice and lemon zest in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue cooking until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Reduce heat to low and whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter at a time. Remove from heat and stir in 1 T dill and capers. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat an oven proof skillet on high and add grapeseed oil to the pan. Heat the oil until it starts to shimmer. Dry the sea bass thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. Sear the fillets for about 3 minutes on each side, turning once. The goal is to get a crispy golden crust on each side. Remove the pan from the stove and transfer to the hot oven. Roast for about 5 minutes in the oven until sea bass is just cooked through. Plate the fish, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1 T fresh dill.
SEA BASS WITH LEMON AND CAPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Season sea bass fillets with salt and pepper. In a saute pan, over high heat, add the olive oil and sear fish fillets skin side down first, for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn fish over and cook another 4 minutes or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, prepare the croutons. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Toss with bread cubes and transfer to a baking sheet. Bake in oven for 4 minutes or until crisp and golden in color. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- In another saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter. Over high heat, saute the baby vegetables until glazed. Divide into 2 and mound in center of plate. Keep warm.
- Add the remaining 2 ounces of butter to the fillets and baste them with the butter. Place a fillet and the red peppers on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle half of the croutons on top and around each fillet. To butter, add shallots and continue to cook until butter turns brown. Deglaze with lemon juice, and add the lemon pieces, parsley, chives, tarragon, capers, and caper berries. When heated, pour half over and around each fillet. Serve immediately.
- Note: if sea bass is not available, any firm white fish can be substituted.

Steps:
- To make the dressing, mix the oil with the lemon zest and juice, capers, mustard, some seasoning and 1 tbsp water. Don't add the parsley yet (unless serving straight away) as the acid in the lemon will fade the colour if they are left together for too long.
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and put the fish, skin-side up, on top. Brush the skin with oil and sprinkle with some flaky salt. Bake for 7 mins or until the flesh flakes when tested with a knife. Arrange the fish on warm serving plates, spoon over the dressing and scatter with extra parsley leaves, if you like.

Tips:
- To ensure the sea bass is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of similar thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets to an even thickness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the sea bass. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will not sear properly and will become steamed instead.
- Sear the sea bass for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through. Do not overcook the fish, as it will become dry and tough.
- To make the lemon-dill-caper sauce, use fresh lemon juice and zest. This will give the sauce a bright and tangy flavor.
- If you do not have capers on hand, you can substitute chopped cornichons or pickled gherkins.
- Serve the Chilean sea bass with the lemon-dill-caper sauce, roasted vegetables, and mashed potatoes for a complete and delicious meal.
Conclusion:
Chilean sea bass is a delicious and versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. The lemon-dill-caper sauce is a classic accompaniment to sea bass, and it pairs perfectly with the fish's delicate flavor. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in under 30 minutes, making it a great option for a quick and healthy weeknight meal.
