Striped SeaBass

Striped SeaBass is probably my favorite fish. It's so tender and buttery, it just melts in your mouth. Typically when you buy it, it will be a filet, like on my photo below, with the skin remaining on one side. Ingredients: 2 Striped SeaBass filets (with skin on one side) (fresh from Whole Foods or The Fish Market preferably) (2 pieces, about 8 oz each) Lemons or lemon juice From your pantry: Sea salt Extra virgin olive oil Olive oil spray Cookware: 1 frying pan 1 Baking dish Steps:

• Preheat your oven at 425

• Season fish with salt and pepper, to taste. Optionally, also season with Italian Seasoning or Thyme.

• Once the oven has reached temperature, proceed with next steps:

• Heat the pan on high, add a teaspoon of olive oil in the pan

• Add the SeaBass, skin side down, in the pan and sear undisturbed 2 minutes

• If your pan is oven proof, place it directly in the oven.

• If not, spray a baking dish with olive oil spray, transfer your fish into the baking dish and place in the oven for 10 minutes.

• Remove from the oven after 10 minutes and serve immediately.

• Add a little bit of butter and add a little lemon juice, to taste.
