When it comes to cooking seafood, sea bass is a popular choice due to its delicate flavor and firm texture. One of the most flavorful and easy-to-prepare dishes is sea bass with citrus and soy. This dish combines the bright and tangy flavors of citrus with the umami richness of soy sauce, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The result is a succulent and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Here are our top 8 tried and tested recipes!
SEA BASS WITH CITRUS AND SOY
Steps:
- Mix first 6 ingredients in 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Add fish; turn to coat. Chill 2 hours, turning fish occasionally.
- Place steamer rack in large skillet. Arrange fish on rack. Pour marinade into skillet under rack and bring to boil. Cover skillet and steam fish until just opaque in center, about 8 minutes. Transfer fish to plates. Remove steamer rack from skillet. Boil marinade until reduced enough to coat spoon, about 6 minutes; spoon over fish. Top with green onions.
WHOLE FISH WITH SOY AND CITRUS
For those curious about cooking a whole fish but nervous to try, this skillet method is as simple as cooking a chicken breast. Meant to work with a larger fish, such as a snapper or black bass, this method, which keeps the skin and bones involved, prevents overcooking and drying out (plus it's more fun to eat). Basted with a citrusy browned butter-soy mixture, which also acts as a sauce once the fish is cooked, this one-skillet dish needs little more than some spriggy, fresh herbs for nibbling on alongside, but feel free to serve with a big leafy salad, bowl of rice or thick-cut toast.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Thinly slice half the lemon, half the lime and half the orange.
- Using a sharp paring knife, make 2 to 3 1/2-inch-deep diagonal incisions on each side of the fish, not quite down to the bone, but enough to visibly score the flesh. Season fish inside and out with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in the largest, oven-safe skillet you own (at least 12 inches) on the stove over medium-high heat. Pick up the fish by the tail and gently lower the fish into the skillet away from you to avoid hot oil splatters.
- As soon as the fish is in the skillet, use tongs or a fish spatula to lightly press the fish, encouraging the skin to make even contact with the skillet. Cook, continuing to press lightly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully place a few slices of citrus inside the cavity of the fish, letting a few escape and sizzle in the skillet alongside the fish.
- Add butter and soy sauce to the skillet, letting the butter sizzle and foam up. Tilt the skillet slightly toward you to allow the buttery soy sauce mixture to pool on one side. Using a large spoon, baste the fish a few times, letting the sauce sizzle and foam up around the fish and into the parts where you've made the incisions.
- Transfer the whole skillet to the oven and continue to cook until the fish is firm to the touch and you can see that the flesh has gone from translucent to white and opaque, 15 to 18 minutes. (You may need a few minutes more if you have an especially meaty snapper.)
- Place fish on a large serving platter (leaving the sauce behind), along with remaining halved lemon, lime and orange for squeezing over the top. Add lime juice to the skillet and swirl to combine. Pour sauce over fish and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, serving cilantro alongside for nibbling in between bites of fish, like a very spriggy salad.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Whisk the soy, syrup, wasabi and sesame seeds in a small bowl.

Place the sea bass on top, skin-side up, and pour over the reserved soy dressing. Sprinkle a pinch more sesame seeds over the skins. Cook for 5-6 mins until the fish is cooked through and flaking.
- Drain the rice noodles, then tip into one side of the tray and coat in some of the sauce. Drizzle over some extra soy, if you like, before scattering with the remaining spring onions to serve.

CITRUS-SPIKED SEA BASS
Places oranges on your barbecue to stop your fish from sticking- serve with a lemony salad with capers, green olives and watercress

Steps:
- Finely grate the zest of 1 of the oranges and add to the lemon zest. Mix with the olive oil, then drizzle over the fish and season. Cut the rest of the oranges into slices about 5mm thick. When the coals are ashen, arrange the orange slices over the barbecue in groups the length of each fish. Char the orange slices on 1 side, then flip them over and lay the fish on top of them - this stops the fish sticking. Barbecue the fish for 5-8 mins on each side (turning them carefully), or until the flesh flakes away easily when prodded.
- While the fish is barbecuing (or beforehand), make the salad. Put the orange segments in a large bowl with the squeezed juice from the rest of the oranges and the lemon juice. Season and stir in the olive oil. When the fish is cooked, toss the watercress in the orange dressing with the capers and olives. Serve the fish with the salad.
