Steps:
- In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the chives, garlic, and salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture in the shape of a log onto a piece of wax or parchment paper.
- Fold the paper over itself. Using your hands, shape the butter into a cylinder about 1 ½ inches wide (almost like making a Tootsie Roll). Once it is shaped, twist the ends to seal it.
- Place in the freezer to set, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to serve or up to a month.
- When ready to serve, slice the roll into ¼-inch-thick rounds and remove the parchment. (Only 4 slices of compound butter are need for this recipe.)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Generously season the sea bass with salt and pepper. In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, warm the oil until a few water droplets sizzle when carefully sprinkled in the skillet. Sear the sea bass, skin side up, until it is well browned and easily releases from pan, about 4 minutes. Flip over and cook until seared, about 1 minute. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast about 5 minutes or cooked to the desired degree of doneness.
- Serve each fillet with a slice of compound butter on top.

COASTAL-STYLE ROASTED SEA BASS OR OTHER LARGE WHOLE FISH
Try to use branches of fresh oregano, marjoram, or fennel here; they really make a tremendous difference. The first two are grown by many gardeners, and a good gardener can probably spare some. Bronze-herb-fennel grows wild all over southern California and is easy to find (it's also grown by some gardeners). Occasionally you can find one of these in a big bunch at a market, too; you'll need a big bunch to try the grilling option. In any case, choose a fish with a simple bone structure so it can be served and eaten easily. The best for this purpose are sea bass, red snapper, grouper, striped bass, and mackerel. One advantage in using the oven over the grill is that in roasting you can add some peeled, chunked potatoes to the bottom of the roasting pan as well; they'll finish cooking along with the onions.

Steps:
- Cut 3 or 4 gashes on each side of the fish, from top to bottom. Salt the gashes and salt the fish's cavity as well. Let it sit while you prepare the other ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Push half of the garlic slivers into the gashes. Rub the fish with a little of the olive oil and pour the rest into the bottom of a large baking pan. Spread the lemon slices over the bottom of the pan and top it with most of the oregano. Lay the fish over all, then spread the onions and remaining garlic around the fish. Pour the wine over all and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining oregano.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake, undisturbed, until the onions are nearly tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake, shaking the pan occasionally, until the fish is cooked through, another 5 to 10 minutes (look at one of the gashes in the thickest part of the fish; the meat will appear opaque clear down to the central bone). If the pan is drying out, add a little more liquid.
- To serve, scoop the flesh from the fish with a spoon and top with some sauce.
- If the weather's good, and you have access to fennel branches, this is easier: Start by preheating a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be quite hot and the grill rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Make a bed of fennel stalks directly on the grill bed. Sprinkle 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of sturdy fish fillets, like halibut (these may be steaks), striped bass, monkfish, or cod, with salt and cayenne. Grill right on the branches. While the fish is cooking, grind a teaspoon or more of fennel or dill seeds; juice 1 lemon and thinly slice another. When the fish is done, remove it from the grill, leaving as much of the stalks behind as possible (some of the burned fronds will adhere to the fish; this is fine). Sprinkle the fish with the fennel or dill seeds, then decorate it with the lemon slices. Drizzle with the lemon juice and a bit of olive oil and serve.

Tips:
- Ensure the freshness of your sea bass: Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny aroma.
- Properly scale and gut the fish: Remove the scales using a sharp knife or fish scaler, then carefully remove the entrails without damaging the fish's body.
- Season the fish generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, herbs, and spices to enhance the flavor of the sea bass.
- Roast the fish at a high temperature: This will help create a crispy skin and juicy flesh.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish: Overcooked sea bass will become dry and tough. Cook the fish just until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the fish immediately: Roasted sea bass is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
