Ingredients

4 seabass fillets (6 ounces each, or 170 grams)
¼ cup almond flour (1 ounce or 28 grams)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided (2 ounces or 56 grams)
2 tbsp olive oil (1 ounce or 30 milliliters)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (2 ounces or 60 milliliters)
½ cup chicken broth (4 ounces or 120 milliliters)
2 tbsp capers, drained (1 ounce or 28 grams)
¼ cup chopped parsley (0.25 ounces or 7 grams)
Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

Season the seabass fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge them lightly in almond flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil.
Once the butter-oil mixture is hot, add the seabass fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the capers and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until the butter is melted and the sauce has thickened.
Return the seabass fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional minute to reheat the fish.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh seabass fillets and high-quality unsalted butter.

The almond flour can be replaced with coconut flour for a different nutty flavor.

Ensure your capers are well-drained to prevent excess liquid from diluting the sauce.

This dish is best served immediately; however, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently.

Pair this dish with a side of sautéed spinach or a simple arugula salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.
