Pan Fried Sea Bass
This crispy pan fried sea bass is tender, flaky, and finished with a quick garlic, lemon, and white wine sauce. It’s an easy skillet fish recipe that feels restaurant-worthy but comes together in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb sea bass
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
- Pat sea bass fillets dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter just before adding the fish, or after flipping, to prevent burning.
- Add fish, skin side down, and cook for 3 minutes per side.
- Remove fish from the pan. Add garlic cloves, white wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 5 minutes.
- Top fish with white wine sauce and fresh parsley.
