Pan-Roasted Sea Bass with pebre sauce
Traditional recipes for fish, like this Pan-Roasted Sea Bass, are hard to beat, so why bother when those age-old preparations are so delicious? They became traditional because they were good and fast. Add some simple sides and pebre sauce, and supper is ready with amazing ease.
Pan-roasting sea bass is a technique that starts on the stove top and ends in the oven. It should result in a crispy sear, and it helps keep the fish juicy and sweet (that is, seafood “sweet,” not sugary sweet).
Ingredients
What is Pebre Sauce?
Pebre is a Chilean salsa, and like any salsa, it adds spicy flavor to your meals. Traditional pebre is made with cilantro, onion, garlic, chiles, and chopped tomatoes.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°.
Pulse cilantro, scallions, garlic, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and 1 tsp. oil in a food processor. Stir in Roma tomato; season sauce with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Season fillets with salt and pepper.
Sauté fillets until beginning to brown, 2 minutes; flip. Add cherry tomatoes to skillet; drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer skillet to oven; roast fillets until they begin to flake, 10–12 minutes.
Serve fillets with cherry tomatoes and pebre sauce.
