PAN FRIED LARGEMOUTH BASS WITH LEMON GARLIC HERB BUTTER SAUCE
Steps:
- Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a saute pan on top of the grill. When the pan is hot add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat. Dredge the bass fillets in the flour and shake off any excess. Place the fillets in the pan and pan fry about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the fish from the pan. Add the rest of the butter to the pan and melt. When the butter is hot, add the sliced garlic. Fry the garlic until it just begins to turn light golden brown. Add the herbs and remove from the heat. Carefully, add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, place a fillet on a plate and spoon some of the lemon garlic herb butter over the fish.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet, then remove from heat and cool. Put fillets, flesh sides down, in butter, then turn over so skin sides are down. Sprinkle fish with salt (1/2 teaspoon), pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and 1 tablespoon dill. Arrange cucumber slices overlapping on fish (like scales) and season with salt and pepper. Cover fish directly with a piece of buttered parchment paper (buttered side down) large enough to cover it, then tightly cover skillet with lid or foil.
- Cook fish over moderately high heat until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness of fish. Remove parchment and sprinkle fish with remaining 1/2 tablespoon dill and drizzle with some pan juices.

Steps:
- Score the skin of seabass with knife, season the fillets generously with salt and pepper. Put it aside.
- Mix chopped tomatoes, capers, olives, olive oil and basil leaves in a bowl, and add the balsamic vinegar and lime juice and add grounded black pepper and sea salt. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- In a separate bowl, add couscous, and then add the chicken stock. Cover with a plate, and leave for 5-7 minutes or until the liquid are all absorbed by the couscous. Fluff the couscous up with a fork. Mix the couscous with some of the tomato sauce, and dish onto a warm plate.
- While the couscous is being cooked, heat a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Add olive oil, when the oil is hot, put the seabass fillet in the pan, skin side down. Press the fillet down with a spatula, so the fish fillets do not curl up. Fry the fillet for 4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Turn the fish over carefully so it does not break up. Fry for a further 2 minutes, and turn off the heat.
- Lay the fish on top of the couscous, drizzle with some of the tomato sauce, and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: A firm-fleshed fish like bass or snapper works best for pan-frying.
- Pat the fish dry: This will help prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help sear the fish and prevent it from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the fish in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Flip the fish only once: Flipping the fish too often will break it up.
- Cook the fish until it is opaque: The fish is cooked when it is opaque throughout.
- Serve the fish immediately: Pan-fried fish is best served hot.
Conclusion:
Pan-fried bass with cucumber salsa is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the salsa is refreshing and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
