Cooking Steps
  1. Pat the Chilean sea bass fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle a little olive oil on each fillet.
  2. In a large skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Place the seasoned fillets in the hot pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Prepare the sauce by combining lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce over the fish and allow it to bubble gently for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add a couple of tablespoons of butter into the pan and swirl until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  7. Transfer the pan to an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot, drizzling any remaining sauce over the fish.
