Learn how to make the best pan seared Chilean Seabass in one of my favorite easy fish recipes. It has a mild flavor, so it pairs well with many popular side dishes.
Make sure the sea bass is at room temperature, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil to the pan. Add fresh fish filets to hot pan.
Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes, then flip when golden brown.
Season with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 more minutes. It’s done when the fish flakes and it reaches an internal temperature of 145˚ F. Transfer cooked fish to a serving platter or dinner plates.
