This pan seared chilean sea bass makes for the most perfect in house date night meal. It is super quick, easy and flavorful. The buttery sea bass combined with the caper ghee shallot sauce is so delicious and it only takes 15 minutes to make.
Pan seared chilean sea bass ingredients:
- Sea bass-Roughly 6 ounces each. Keep in mind that sea bass contains a lot of bones, especially if you are buying it in the filet form. With that said, I have found that I can usually get 1-1.5 servings from a filet that has the bones in it. If you need help removing the bones, I found this video to be extremely helpful.
- Capers-You can totally skip this if you are not a caper fan, but in my opinion this is the best part!
- Lemon juice-Sea bass and lemon is one of my favorite combos.
- Ghee-Ghee is a great alternative for butter. I love ghee! It is naturally dairy free too because all of the milk proteins are removed. You can buy it in the store or make your own with this recipe HERE.
- Shallots-Shallots are a member of the onion family. They can really spice a dish up.
- Fresh chives-To garnish.
How to make:
- First, pat dry the sea bass with paper towels.
- Next, Add the ghee to the pan and add in the diced shallot. Sautee for 2 minutes.
- Now, add the sea bass to the pan. Do not move for 4 minutes. Once the 4 minutes is up, flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
- Once the total of 8 minutes is up, remove the sea bass from the pan. Keep in mind sea bass is a very delicate fish so be careful when you flip it.
