Sauteed Black Sea Bass With Capers and Herb-Butter Sauce image

Letting a fillet sizzle in a pan with butter, capers, and fresh herbs is one highly civilized way to get dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. Go with sea bass, trout, or snapper-or any flaky white fish with a thin skin that will get super-crispy in the pan.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skin-on black-sea-bass fillets (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Instant flour, such as Wondra, for sprinkling
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dry vermouth
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup lightly packed chopped fresh tender herbs, such as parsley, dill, tarragon, and chives

Steps:

  • Pat fillets dry; slash skin side of each crosswise in 2-inch intervals. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour to evenly coat, shaking off excess.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When oil shimmers and wisps of smoke rise from skillet, add fish in a single layer, skin-sides down. Reduce heat to medium; cook, undisturbed,until skin is crisp and flesh is opaque halfway up sides and almost cooked through, 5 to 7minutes, depending on thickness.
  • Flip and continue cooking until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to plates, skin-sides up. Add vermouth to skillet; boil until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add capers and butter; cook until butter simmers and sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in herbs. Return fish to skillet, skin-side up; spoon butter sauce over top. Serve immediately.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 oil packed anchovy filllets
4 clove garlic minced
1 c minced herbs, your choice i used parsley and basil
1 Tbsp drained capers
2 Tbsp lemon juice
5 Tbsp olive oil
salt and olive oil for frying
4 sea bass fillets

Steps:

  • 2. Season the fish with salt. Place a cast iron pan on stove and get it hot. Drizzle in some oil. Place the fish skin side down and set a heavy pan on top of the fish so the skin is flat against the pan. Cook until the skin is crispy about 6 minutes. Check to make sure it doesn't burn. Flip the fish and cook until flaky.
  • 3. Serve over sauce skin side up

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan to ensure the fish skin gets crispy and doesn't stick.
  • Pat the sea bass dry before cooking to prevent splattering and ensure a crispy skin.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the fish fillets, or they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the fish skin-side down first until crispy, then flip and cook the other side until cooked through.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the fish; it should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-doneness.
  • Let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve the sea bass immediately with the herb sauce, lemon wedges, and roasted vegetables.
