Seared Sea Bass With Garlic Sauce

Found this recipe at "Myrecipes.com" and have made it a couple of times...can use halibut and it works well also.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb sea bass fillet (about 2 inches thick)
• 2  teaspoons  vegetable oil
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup dry vermouth
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper (I use lemon-pepper)
• 4  garlic cloves, minced
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh parsley
•  lemon wedge

Directions

1. Cut fish crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add fish, and cook 1 minute. Turn fish over; gradually add the water and next 4 ingredients (water through garlic) to skillet. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook 3 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
2. Remove fish from skillet; set aside, and keep warm. Cook the vermouth mixture over high heat 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Pour over fish; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with lemon.
