- 4 sea bass fillets
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 20 capers
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Season the sea bass well on both sides with salt and pepper.
4 sea bass fillets, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Heat up some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
1 teaspoon olive oil
Add the fish fillets to the pan, skin side down, and drizzle juice from ½ lemon on top. Cook for a few minutes until the bottom of the fish is starting to look golden. If your fish doesn't have skin on either side, estimate 2-3 minutes.
1 lemon, 20 capers
Then, flip the sea bass, and cook on the other side. Add a few lemon slices and capers, and allow these to heat up with the fish. Leave the sea bass to cook until it's cooked through, about 2-3 minutes, or until it flakes at the touch of a fork.
- Store leftover cooked sea bass in a refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it in a microwave or frying pan, and serve warm.
- Feel free to add any extra seasoning if you like! Red pepper flakes or some fresh herbs can make a big difference.
