Steps:
- In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the chives, garlic, and salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture in the shape of a log onto a piece of wax or parchment paper.
- Fold the paper over itself. Using your hands, shape the butter into a cylinder about 1 ½ inches wide (almost like making a Tootsie Roll). Once it is shaped, twist the ends to seal it.
- Place in the freezer to set, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to serve or up to a month.
- When ready to serve, slice the roll into ¼-inch-thick rounds and remove the parchment. (Only 4 slices of compound butter are need for this recipe.)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Generously season the sea bass with salt and pepper. In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, warm the oil until a few water droplets sizzle when carefully sprinkled in the skillet. Sear the sea bass, skin side up, until it is well browned and easily releases from pan, about 4 minutes. Flip over and cook until seared, about 1 minute. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast about 5 minutes or cooked to the desired degree of doneness.
- Serve each fillet with a slice of compound butter on top.

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).

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.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect golden sea bass, ensure the fish is fresh and of good quality. - Before cooking, pat the sea bass dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help the skin crisp up. - Generously season the fish with salt and pepper inside and out to enhance its natural flavor. - Use a combination of butter and olive oil to fry the sea bass. Butter adds a rich flavor, while olive oil helps prevent burning. - Start by searing the fish over high heat to create a crispy skin, then reduce the heat and continue cooking until the fish is cooked through. - To ensure even cooking, flip the sea bass halfway through the cooking process. - Keep an eye on the cooking time, as overcooking can result in dry and tough fish. Flake the fish easily with a fork when it's cooked through. - Garnish the cooked sea bass with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance its flavor and visual appeal.Conclusion
