Ingredients

For the Sea Bass Marinade

4 Chilean sea bass fillets

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Juice of 1 lemon

For the Artichokes and Capers

1 cup canned or jarred artichoke hearts, quartered

3 tablespoons capers, drained

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup white wine

Juice of half a lemon

2 tablespoons butter

For the Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped

Lemon wedges

Preparation

Marinating the Sea Bass

Combine marinade ingredients

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Marinate fillets

Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow dish and cover with the marinade.

Chill

Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Preparing the Artichokes and Capers

Melt butter and sauté garlic

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Cook artichokes and capers

Add artichokes, capers, white wine, and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Do not overcook the fish; it should remain tender and juicy. Use a non-stick pan to avoid sticking.

Cooking Process

Sear the Sea Bass

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated sea bass for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.

Finish the Sauce

Once the fish is cooked, pour the artichoke and caper mixture over the fish in the skillet, allowing flavors to meld for 1-2 minutes.

Adjust Seasoning

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if necessary.
