    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method: Sea Bass with Artichoke-Lemon Sauce
    • Pat sea bass fillets dry with paper towel and season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
    • Pour olive oil into a non-stick skillet and set over medium-high heat.
    • When oil is shimmering, add the sea bass fillets, skin-side down if skin is on.
    • Sear fillets 2-3 minutes until golden and crisped, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes more until just cooked through; transfer to a warm plate.
    • In a clean pan, add butter over medium heat until melted and foaming.
    • Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds; do not brown.
    • Pour in white wine and allow to simmer, reducing by half, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
    • Stir in artichoke hearts and let heat through, simmering gently for 2 minutes.
    • Add lemon juice and simmer one more minute to marry flavors.
    • Taste sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
    • Return sea bass fillets to the pan to lightly glaze with sauce, about 30 seconds.
    • Plate each fillet and spoon artichoke-lemon sauce generously over the top.
    • Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over each serving for garnish.
    • Serve immediately, with additional fresh lemon wedges if desired, for brightness.
    • Recommended plating: Place fillet in center, sauce and artichokes artfully draped, finish with parsley and drizzle of remaining sauce.
    • Best served with steamed greens, roasted potatoes, or a crisp salad on the side.
