SAUTEED CHILEAN SEA BASS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Place flour for dredging in a shallow bowl. Coat each fillet with seasoned flour and shake off excess. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add butter/olive oil combination. Add the fillets, without crowding. Increase heat to high and saute, shaking the pan from time to time, until the bottom of the fish is nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side. Remove fish to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining fillets.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine. Cook, stirring over high heat until reduced by about one-third. Stir in remaining butter and drained capers.
- Plate fish and drizzle sauce around each fillet.

Steps:
- Season the cavity and exterior of fish with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly brush with oil a baking dish that is just large enough to hold fish without crowding. Divide thyme, rosemary, and parsley evenly between each fish, and place inside cavity. Place 2 bay leaves in cavity of each fish, and place remaining 2 bay leaves in baking dish. Sprinkle scallions over and around fish; drizzle with olive oil.
- Transfer to oven and roast 15 minutes. Continue to roast, checking every few minutes, until the thickest part of the fish is just firm, about 5 minutes more.
- Drizzle fish with lemon juice and transfer to a cutting board; set baking dish aside. Working from the head to the tail, cut along backbone to separate the flesh from the bone. Carefully lift top fillet and transfer to a plate. Lift and discard bones. Gently lift second fillet to same plate. Repeat process with remaining fish. Drizzle with any pan juices before serving.
Tips
- Choose the freshest sea bass possible. Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
- Rinse the sea bass thoroughly before cooking. This will help remove any scales or slime.
- Pat the sea bass dry with paper towels. This will help the fish cook evenly.
- Season the sea bass with salt and pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices. You can also stuff the sea bass with lemon slices, herbs, or vegetables.
- Cook the sea bass over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from overcooking.
- Cook the sea bass until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. This will usually take 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve the sea bass immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
