Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass with Lemon Butter Sauce

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 420 F.

Step 2

Rinse and pat your fish filets completely dry.  Brush your fish with 1 tbs oil all over.  Season with salt + pepper to taste.

Step 3

Add the remainder olive oil to a pan and heat on HIGH.  Once hot, add your fish skin side up.  Lower heat to medium high and sear each side for a few minutes per side, until golden.

Step 4

Transfer pan to your oven and bake for 10-15 minutes (time varies along with the thickness of your fish).  Internal temperature should be 145 F.

Step 5

Whisk together the melted butter and lemon juice.  Pour over your fish, garnish with dill and freshly ground black pepper.
