Equipment

  • 1 skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz Chilean Sea Bass Fillet keep the skin on
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 tsp Avocado Oil divided
  • 2 tsp Capers drained, patted dry
  • 2 tsp Chives chopped
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • Pat the sea bass dry and score the back of the skin about 4 to 5 times to prevent the skin from curling up when cooking. Season with salt.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add half the oil and then add the dried capers. Cook until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, over medium heat, add the remaining oil and then add the sea bass skin side down. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until cooked through.
