    • Season both sides of sea bass fillets with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
    • Parallel: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Parallel: In a small saucepan, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
    • Place sea bass fillets, skin-side down (if skin on), in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes, until golden.
    • Turn the fillets and immediately transfer the skillet to the oven.
    • Roast sea bass for 6–8 minutes until just cooked through and opaque.

    • Remove sea bass from oven; let rest 1 minute.
