Chilean Sea Bass is a premium fish known for its delicate, buttery flavor and firm, flaky texture. Ina Garten’s recipe pairs this versatile fish with simple seasonings and a light, flavorful sauce to create a restaurant-quality dish at home.

Ingredients

  • Chilean sea bass fillets: 4 (6-ounce) portions, skinless.
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons.
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon.
  • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed.
  • Butter: 3 tablespoons, unsalted.
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced.
  • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped, for garnish.
  • White wine (optional): 1/4 cup.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

Step 2: Season the fish

  • Pat the Chilean sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3: Sear the fillets

  • Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and sear the fillets for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 4: Add the sauce ingredients

  • Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, and white wine (if using) to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce bubble for 1 minute.

Step 5: Bake the fish

  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6: Finish with lemon and parsley

  • Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the fillets with fresh lemon juice. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
