--Christina, WeekdayPescatarian.com

Ingredients:

– Sea bass fillets – Yukon potatoes – Clarified butter – Salt and pepper – Butter – Lemon juice – Flat leaf parsley

Let's Get Cooking

1. Prep Potatoes

Using a mandolin, slice 2-3 Yukon gold potatoes. Rinse in a bowl of cold water and set aside to dry.

2. Prep Sea Bass

Salt and pepper the skin side of the fillets and turn over. Brush fish with clarified butter and sprinkle with sea salt.

Lay the potato slices across the sea bass fillet shingle-style, covering the entire flesh side of the fillet. Sprinkle  with additional salt. Refrigerate for 30 mins.

3. Cook Sea Bass

Lay the fish fillets, potato side down, into a hot skillet. You’ll want a deep golden brown color before turning. Flip and cook until fish is done.

4. Make Sauce

After fish is cooked, remove from skillet & return  pan to heat. Add butter,  lemon juice and  parsley. Cook until foamy, about 2-3 mins. 

5

Plate the sea bass skin-side down over wilted spinach. Pour butter herb sauce over each fillet and serve immediately.
