Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the hot skillet. Place the fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flaky. Set aside on a plate and keep warm.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, grated fresh ginger, honey, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create the sauce.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in the lime ginger sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the warm lime ginger sauce over the cooked sea bass fillets.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
