Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 6 MinTotal time: 16 Min

Ingredients

Chilean Sea Bass
4 Chilean Sea Bass filets (2 to 2/1/2 inches in thickness)
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt, and pepper to taste
fresh minced parsley
2 cloves minced garlic

1 teaspoon chopped minced parsley

Instructions

Heat a skillet on medium heat.
Pat dry with paper towels the sea bass.
Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper.
When the pan is hot add the butter and oil.
Once melted saute the sea bass on both sides for around 2 minutes depending on thickness.
Using an instant-read thermometer the fish is cooked at 145 degrees.
Note: Chilean Sea Bass can be anywhere from 2 to 3 inches in thickness, ours was almost 2 inches and cooked perfectly. Most or less cooking time may be needed.
Add the garlic and saute for 2 more minutes watching until the garlic is golden not browned.
Remove the fish from the heat and keep warm, sprinkle the parsley on top.
Make the Lemon Sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and simmer until lightly browned ( if using wine add it to the butter).
Remove from the heat.
Add the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Note: Lemon juice doesn't need to be reduced only the wine if using, if you would prefer no wine add all lemon juice.
Pour this over the fish and serve with chopped fresh parsley.
