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).

Steps:
- Make the Sauce:.
- Set a small saucepan over medium heat and stir together 1/4 cup water and the vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, sugar and cornstarch. Bring this to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens - about 1 minute. Keep warm.
- Prep the Fish:.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a shallow pie dish. Spread the flour on one plate and the panko on another plate. Season the flour with a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Season the sole with a bit of salt on each side and then dip them first into the flour, then into the egg and finally the panko, coating each side evenly. You may want to press the panko into the fish with your fingertips to make sure it adheres well.
- Panfry:.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over med.-high to high heat until just hot and then add the oil. Add the fish and fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes on each side). Depending on how big your pan is/ how many filets you have, you may need to fry the fish in batches. Have the extra oil handy in case the pan gets too dry while cooking.
- Drain the fish on paper towels briefly. Then serve the fish fillets with the sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest fish possible. Fresh sea bass will have a firm, slightly shiny flesh and a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy, discolored, or has a strong fishy odor.
- Score the fish before cooking. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and ensure even cooking.
- Use a light hand with the seasonings. Sea bass is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overpower it with too many flavors.
- Cook the fish over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from drying out.
- Don't overcook the fish. Sea bass is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is cooked through. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Sweet and sour pan-fried sea bass is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked in a flavorful sauce that is made with a combination of soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and ginger. The fish is then served over a bed of rice or vegetables. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
