Sea Bass in White Wine Sauce - Gracious Eats

Ingredients

• 1 Pound Sea bass
• 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tomatoes chopped
• ⅓ cup White wine
• Large handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• ½ Lemon
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Pat dry sea bass on both sides of fish
• Generously season both sides of sea bass with salt and pepper.
• Heat large skillet over high heat
• Add fish skin side down to the pan and cook for 6 minutes on the skin side and 4-5 minutes on the flesh side. Try not to move the fish too much while it is searing, so the skin creates a brown crust.
• Remove fish from the pan and place on serving dish.
• Add tomatoes and saute for about about 30 seconds.
• Turn down the heat to low. Add the white wine (1/3 cup) to the skillet to deglaze, stirring up any browned bits. Let the wine reduce by half.
• Once reduced, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons). Stir the sauce until combined. Cook 1-2 minutes more until sauce is combined and smooth.
• Pour sauce over fish.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve
