Pan-Seared Sea Bass

Nutrition Information

Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Sea bass fillets (Skin-on)
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 Lemon (Juiced)
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 tbsp Capers
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat sea bass fillets completely dry with paper towels. Score the skin in 3-4 places to prevent curling. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Place fillets skin-side down in the pan. Press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.

4. 4

   Cook for 5-6 minutes without moving until skin is golden and crispy. The fish will be mostly cooked through.

5. 5

   Carefully flip and cook for 1-2 minutes on the flesh side. Remove fish to plates.

6. 6

   Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, lemon juice, thyme, and capers to the pan. Swirl until butter melts.

7. 7

   Spoon sauce over fish and serve immediately.
