Whenever I can't decide on what to do with a piece of fish, I usually opt for this easy and crowd-pleasing technique, which involves roasting seafood after it's been slathered in a highly seasoned vinaigrette. And by crowd, I mean wife. It's baked on top of a warm potato salad.

To achieve the best flavor, use fresh sea bass fillets. If frozen fillets are used, thaw them completely before cooking.
Season the sea bass fillets with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their natural flavor.
Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the sea bass fillets. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Cook the sea bass fillets over medium heat until they are cooked through. The fillets should be opaque in the center and flake easily with a fork.
Serve the sea bass fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice.
