Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2
    Pat the sea bass fillets dry and lightly dust them with flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. 3
    Heat 2 tablespoons of light olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. 4
    Sear the sea bass fillets in the hot oil for about 1-2 minutes per side, just until golden and sealed. Remove from skillet.

Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a covered dish with a splash of water or wine to prevent drying out.

Substitutions: If sea bass is unavailable, other firm white fish like cod, halibut, or snapper work well. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the white wine with additional fish broth or water with a splash of lemon juice.

Tips: Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the fish to get a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan. Taste the sauce before pouring it over the fish and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
