Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs sea bass fillets
- Sea salt, to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
How to cook:
- Generously salt the tops of fish fillets. They'll likely have skins on the bottom so you can leave those alone. Add flour to a long shallow dish. Coat the meaty side of the fish with flour and shake off excess, again, leaving the skin bare.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until rippling. Gently add the fillets, skin side up, to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on medium heat.
- Turn the fillets over, skin side down. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. After the fish is cooked through, using a spatula, carefully remove fillets to the plate.
- Turn the pan down to medium-low.
- Add capers, diced garlic, and lemon juice to the same pan with oil. Cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the caper sauce, stirring, until butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
- Add fish back to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, and serve.

- Season the sea bass well on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat up some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the fish fillets to the pan, skin side down, and drizzle juice from 1/2 lemon on top. Cook for a few minutes until the bottom of the fish is starting to look golden. If your fish doesn't have skin on either side, estimate 2-3 minutes.
- Then, flip the sea bass, and cook on the other side. Add a few lemon slices and capers, and allow these to heat up with the fish. Leave the sea bass to cook until it's cooked through, about 2-3 minutes, or until it flakes at the touch of a fork.
