Instructions
Prepare the Sea Bass
I pat 4 sea bass fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and 1 tsp chopped thyme. This preps the fish for a flavorful sear.
Make the Lemon-Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, I mix 3 minced garlic cloves, zest of 1 lemon, and 2 tbsp lemon juice. This zesty sauce will infuse the fish with bright flavor.
Cook the Sea Bass
I heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. I add the fillets skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes until the skin is crispy. I flip carefully, pour the lemon-garlic sauce over the fish, and cook for 3–4 more minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork. I remove the fish and keep it warm.
Prepare the Creamed Spinach
In the same skillet, I add 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 cups fresh spinach, cooking for 1–2 minutes until wilted. I stir in ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup Parmesan, a pinch of nutmeg (if using), and season with salt and pepper. I cook for 1 minute until thickened.
Serve
I plate a portion of creamed spinach, top with a sea bass fillet, and drizzle with any remaining lemon-garlic sauce from the skillet. I garnish with lemon slices or parsley for a polished look.
