The Mediterranean on your plate.
About This Recipe
Perfectly grilled sea bass fillets, finished with a bright lemon-herb oil made with CYRHANA Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This dish is what Mediterranean cooking is all about: respect for fresh ingredients, simplicity of technique, and olive oil that elevates everything it touches.
Ingredients
- ✓2 sea bass fillets (180-200g each), skin on
- ✓4 tbsp CYRHANA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ✓1 lemon (juice + zest)
- ✓2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ✓Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ✓Fresh thyme sprigs
- ✓Sea salt and black pepper
- ✓Optional: capers for serving
Preparation
- 1
Pat the sea bass fillets completely dry with paper towel. Score the skin 3 times with a sharp knife. Season both sides generously with sea salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tbsp CYRHANA olive oil.
- 3
Place fillets skin-side down. Press gently for the first 30 seconds to prevent curling. Cook 4-5 minutes without moving until skin is crispy and golden.
- 4
Flip carefully and cook 1-2 more minutes on the flesh side. Remove from heat.
- 5
In a small bowl, mix remaining 3 tbsp CYRHANA olive oil with lemon juice, zest, garlic slices, and parsley.
- 6
Spoon the lemon-herb oil generously over the fish. Finish with fresh thyme and capers. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tip
“Never move the fish while the skin is cooking. Patience is the secret — the skin will release naturally from the pan when it is properly crisped.”
