Knife
Citrus juicer
Zester

Ingredients

4 fillets Chilean sea bass 6 ounces each
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon juiced and zested
2 cloves garlic minced
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the Chilean sea bass fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the sea bass fillets, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and thyme to the skillet and stir to combine.
Return the sea bass fillets to the skillet, spooning the lemon butter sauce over the fillets.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the Chilean sea bass hot, garnished with lemon slices and a spoonful of the lemon butter sauce.

Notes

Ensure your skillet is oven-proof before using it in the oven.

Adjust cook time if using larger or smaller fillets to avoid overcooking.

For additional flavor, consider adding capers or diced olives to the lemon butter sauce.
