Equipment

  • Non stick, non toxic pan.

Ingredients

  • 2 portions sea bass I like to buy mine pre-portioned. Keep in mind sea bass has a lot of bones in it, so if you buy a pound filet you may only get 8 or so ounces from it.
  • 1/4 cup shallots diced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 4 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup capers

Instructions

  • Pat dry the sea bass with a paper towel. Add the ghee to the pan on medium heat, then add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes. Once the two minutes is up, add the sea bass to the pan for 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes is up, add the capers and lemon and flip the sea bass to cook for an additional 5 more minutes. Once the total of 10 minutes is up, remove the sea bass from the pan and pour the ghee sauce in the bottom of the pan over top. Top off with fresh chives.
