Equipment

  • large non stick skillet
  • tongs or a spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 pound chilean sea bass cut into 3-4 filets
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons honey bbq seasoning
  • 4 lemon slices
  • kosher salt as needed
  • 2 tablespoons dill chopped
  • 4 teaspoons honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a large skillet on medium heat. Pour in the olive oil. Season the sea bass filets with the honey bbq and a dash of salt.
  • Place the filets in the pan and turn the heat down to low. Sear for 4 minutes and then carefully flip it over. Season the other side of the sea bass.
    Let sear for 2 minutes.
  • Drizzle the honey over the fish. Add the dill on top and then squeeze the lemon on top and set the lemon wedges on top. Let the sea bass cook for another 3 minutes.
  • When done, remove it from the heat and serve immediately. Add another touch of salt if needed.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Notes:
Storing and reheating:
Store the pan seared Chilean sea bass in  an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2  minutes.
 
Helpful tips:
  • I use Honey BBQ seasoning from Flavor God because their seasonings are clean, low in sodium and pack a lot of flavor. If you don’t have this and are looking for another substitute, you can use any type of honey bbq spice or rub. 
  • Pat the fish dry first. This will help with the caramelization.
  • Like all fish, sea bass is delicate. Use a non-stick pan.
  • Do not over cook the Chilean sea bass. When it’s opaque, it’s done.
