Categories     main-dish

Time 17m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup all-purpose flour for dredging, seasoned with salt and pepper
1 1/2 to 2 pounds Chilean Sea Bass fillets
4 tablespoons butter/olive oil combination
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 tablespoons drained capers

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest sea bass fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Pat the sea bass fillets dry before cooking. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a crispy skin.
  • Season the sea bass fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme.
  • Cook the sea bass fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Cook the sea bass fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the sea bass fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for sea bass include roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Cooking sea bass fillets is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and healthy meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your sea bass fillets are cooked perfectly every time.
