Sauteed Chilean Sea Bass

This is a quick, easy and delicious dish that I saw being made on FoodTV about 2 years ago. I don't remember the show but Chef Ehab Habishi is the author of the recipe.

Like Bergy, I cut the recipe in half to make a meal for two. White sea bass is no more a bass than Chilean Sea bass, but both have firm white flesh and no strong-flavored lateral line. I served it with boiled red potatoes and haricots vert (French for green beans, but in fact young beans about 1/8 - inch in diameter).Reply

This was excellent - kind of a fish piccata - and the sauce is to die for.....because we like the sauce I added some of the extra dredging flower to the hot oil - stirred until light tan color then added wine, lemon, and capers and dot of butter at the end....using more of everything to make the extra sauce.Reply
