Active cooking time: 25 mins. Total cooking time: 45 mins. Serves 2
Ingredients
1 lb sea bass steak, halved, bone removed (450g)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1⁄2 cup low sodium soy sauce (120mL)
1 tbsp fish sauce (15mL)
1 tbsp oyster sauce (15mL)
1 tsp black pepper (3g)
2 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped (12g)
2 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped (12g)
2 tbsp butter, softened (28g)
pluck parsley for garnish
(optional) sliced charcuterie or pickled ginger, for garnish
Combine garlic, all sauces, pepper, basil, and oregano in a bowl.
Place your sea bass in the bowl and make sure to coat the fish in the sauces and herbs.
Let fish sit in bowl for 15-20 minutes.
Remove fish from bowl and lightly shake off any excess liquid.
Place fish to the side.
Place a sauté/frying pan over high heat for until pan is very hot.
Add butter to the pan for 20 seconds.
Lower burner to medium heat and place your sea bass skin down, press down on the flesh of the bass using your fingertips or fish slice (aka the spatula with slits). This will prevent the skin from curling.
