Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Sea Bass: Pat the sea bass dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

  4. Step 4: Add 2 tbsp of butter and let it melt until bubbling.
  5. Step 5: Place the sea bass fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 3–4 minutes without moving, until a golden crust forms.
  6. Step 6: Flip the fish and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Finish the Sea Bass in the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Step 8: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the fish is flaky and cooked through.

  10. Step 10: Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  11. Step 11: Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2–3 minutes.
  12. Step 12: Pour in the heavy whipping cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  13. Step 13: Prepare the Lemon Parmesan Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 3 tbsp butter over medium heat.
  14. Step 14: Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  15. Step 15: Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  16. Step 16: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
  17. Step 17: Stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and sea salt.
  18. Step 18: Zest and juice the lemon into the sauce and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
