Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 sea bass fillets (6 oz each) and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Add the fish fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving until the edges turn crispy and golden.
  4. Step 4: Flip the fillets carefully, add 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves to the pan, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  5. Step 5: Remove the pan from heat, sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill over the fillets, and drizzle with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately, spooning the garlic-infused oil from the pan over the fish for extra flavor.
