The How To Do It
Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass
Preheat the oven to 375° F.
While the oven is heating up, thaw (if you're using frozen like I have to do) the sea bass and pat the fish dry with a paper towel.
Sprinkle the sea bass on both sides with salt, pepper, and the granulated garlic.
In a medium cast iron skillet (I almost always use cast iron) or a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat melt two tablespoons of butter (or oil/fat of your choice).
Once the butter has melted, and stopped foaming, add the sea bass to the skillet and sear on the first side 2-3 minutes.
Flip the fish and immediately place the skillet in the oven for 8-9 minutes.
Serve with roasted asparagus spiers, ponzu sauce, and kani salad or with your favorite sides.
