Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 sea bass fillet
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
Sauces and Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Cut your sea bass fillet into 2-inch uniform pieces, ensuring each chunk is roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, reaching 375°F within 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon minced ginger and 1 tablespoon minced garlic into the hot oil, stirring quickly to prevent burning.
- Toss in 2 chopped green onion stalks, letting them sizzle and release their aromatic flavors for 30 seconds.
- Carefully place sea bass pieces into the skillet, allowing each side to crisp and turn golden brown for about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Pour 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce directly over the fish, creating a glossy coating.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper across the fish, gently swirling to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fish is completely opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer golden-brown sea bass to a warm serving plate, garnishing with remaining green onion slices for a fresh touch.
Notes
- Choose fresh sea bass with firm, translucent flesh and no strong fishy smell for the best flavor and texture.
- Pat the fish pieces dry with paper towels before cooking to help achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the delicate fish from sticking and breaking apart.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more or less soy sauce and oyster sauce depending on your preference for saltiness.
