Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sea Bass

    Clean and gut the whole sea bass if not already done. Pat it dry with paper towels, ensuring the skin is dry for a crispy finish.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Rub marine salt evenly on both sides of the fish, including the cavity. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the salt.

  3. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Sear the Fish

    Carefully place the sea bass in the skillet, skin-side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip the fish gently and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. If needed, cook a little longer on each side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the fish from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon before serving.
