Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 sea bass fillets (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets skin side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
Step 3: Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Step 4: In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Remove the sauce from heat and stir in 3 thinly sliced scallions. Spoon the citrus-ginger sauce generously over the cooked sea bass fillets and serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed greens.
