The sea bass definitely allures in this amazing pan-fried recipe: a perfect reward after a long day of fishing while your friends play King’s Knight and whine at you.
Active cooking time: 30-45 mins. Total cooking time: 30-45 mins. Serves 2
Ingredients
4 tbsp of butter, divided (56g)
½ large onion, sliced thinly
1 bunch of choy sum/Chinese flowering cabbage
1 clove garlic, smashed
5 thick slices of ginger, .15 inch thick (4mm)
2 9oz fillets of sea bass (510g)
sugar, to taste
salt, to taste
lemon juice, to taste
black pepper, to taste
ginger leaves, for garnish
Heat a pan on medium heat, melt half a tablespoon (7g) of butter, and sauté the onions. Set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the choy sum with a bit of the garlic and a tablespoon (14g) of butter. Set aside.
Fry the rest of the garlic and the ginger using the final 2.5 tablespoons (35g) of butter, and cook the fillets evenly on both sides on medium heat. Baste the fish constantly in the flavored butter to keep it moist (and anointed). Sprinkle a pinch of sugar and salt on both sides when the fish is almost done, about 10 minutes.
Serve sea bass on plate with a side of choy sum and onions on top when done. (Optional) Squeeze a bit of lemon juice juice before serving with a some pepper if you like, and garnish with ginger leaves.
