Ingredients
  

4 sea bass fillets (skin-on)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

    In a large, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Carefully place the sea bass fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

        Using a spatula, carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the flesh side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

          Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn the garlic.

            Add the lemon zest and juice to the skillet, swirling the pan to combine the flavors. Spoon the garlic butter over the fillets continuously for about 1 minute.

              Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh parsley over the fillets.

                Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra zing.
