How to prepare. 

Baked Chilean Sea Bass

Ingredients:

For the Sea Bass:

➤4 Chilean sea bass fillets (6-8 ounces each)

➤Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

➤2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Lemon Herb Butter Sauce:

➤4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

➤Zest of 1 lemon

➤Juice of 1 lemon

➤2 cloves garlic, minced

➤2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

➤1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

➤Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

➤Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Season the Sea Bass:

➤Pat the Chilean sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and           freshly ground black pepper.

3. Sear the Sea Bass (Optional):

➤If you prefer a golden sear on the sea bass, heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the     olive oil and let it get hot. Sear the sea bass fillets for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they               develop a nice crust. If you choose not to sear, proceed to the next step.

4. Prepare the Lemon Herb Butter Sauce:

➤In a bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and     dill (if using). Mix everything together until well combined. Season with salt and freshly ground              black pepper to taste.

5. Coat the Sea Bass:

➤Place the Chilean sea bass fillets in an oven-safe baking dish. Spread a generous dollop of the lemon      herb butter sauce over each fillet.

6. Bake the Sea Bass:

➤Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sea bass       flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature           should reach 145°F (63°C).

7. Serve:

➤Carefully remove the sea bass fillets from the oven.

8. Garnish and Enjoy:

➤Garnish the baked Chilean sea bass with additional chopped fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot with          your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

This baked Chilean sea bass with lemon herb butter sauce is a restaurant-quality dish that's sure to impress. The combination of the flaky sea bass and the flavorful buttery sauce is simply delicious.
