Ingredients

2 fillets Sea bass
1 teaspoon Paprika
¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
Salt to taste
1-2 tablespoon Olive oil
Lemon juice optional

Instructions

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels.
Mix paprika, garlic, black pepper, and salt.
Sprinkle the seasoning on all sides of the sea bass fillets.
Place a frying pan or skillet on medium heat.
Add olive oil and when the oil is heated, gently arrange the fish fillets skin side down in the pan.
Pan fry sea bass for 2-3 minutes, then gently flip them and fry the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Take off the heat and serve on a plate.
Squeeze some lemon juice on it and serve with any sauce and sides of your choice.

Notes

- It's best to fry the skin side first.
- After gently placing the fish into the pan, don't move it until after the first two minutes to prevent it from breaking or sticking to the pan.

- You can use any seasoning of your choice to season the fish fillets.

- Keep an eye on the fish as the difference from well done to burnt can be as little as 1 minute.
