Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves, finely sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the sea bass fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the sea bass fillets in the pan, skin side down. Sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the fillets gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the pan and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped strawberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and red chili flakes to the skillet. Stir well and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until the strawberries soften and begin to break down into a sauce-like consistency.
Stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is glossy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Spoon the spicy strawberry sauce over the cooked sea bass fillets and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a light salad.
