Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 ounces each) Chilean sea bass fillets
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole (for juice and garnish) Lemon
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the Chilean sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the sea bass fillets to coat them completely.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the sea bass fillets in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side, without moving, until a golden crust forms.
Flip the fillets carefully and lower the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the sea bass from the skillet and transfer it to serving plates.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
