Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Chilean sea bass fillet
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Creole seasoning
  • 2 tbsp butter (for fish)
  • 12 oz fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (for creamed spinach)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for creamed spinach)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (for creamed spinach)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (for creamed spinach)
  • 3 tbsp butter (for sauce)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp minced garlic (for sauce)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for sauce)
  • 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (for sauce)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (for sauce)
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Pat the Chilean sea bass dry and season with sea salt, black pepper, and Creole seasoning.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tbsp of butter. Sear the sea bass fillets skin-side down for about 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2 minutes before transferring the skillet to an oven preheated at 400°F (200°C). Bake for 8–10 minutes until cooked through.
  4. In another pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about a minute before adding fresh spinach. Cook until wilted, then stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper; simmer until thickened.
  5. For the lemon sauce, melt remaining butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to create a roux, then add minced garlic followed by chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, seasonings, zest, and juice of lemon while simmering until thickened.
  6. To serve, place creamed spinach on each plate topped with sea bass and drizzle with lemon sauce.
