Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons capers
Instructions
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper and set aside.
Zest the lemon and then juice it. Set both the zest and the juice aside.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Place the sea bass fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a warm plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, and let it melt.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, dill, and capers to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Place the sea bass fillets back into the skillet and spoon the lemon herb sauce over them.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the fillets are well coated with the sauce.
Serve the filet de bar warm, garnished with any remaining sauce and an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs.
