1. Heat the butter (or oil) in a pan on medium-high heat.
2. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on the hot pan and let it cook without flipping for 4-5 minutes, pressing down with a metal spatula to cook the skin evenly.
3. Flip the fish and sear on the other side for an additional minute or two. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Add the butter to the pan, swirl to melt then add the garlic and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
5. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the fish, garnish with chopped parsley and serve at once.

Personal Notes:
If you can’t find sea bass you could use a similar white fish with firm meat instead, such as cod, haddock or pollock.
This cooking technique works with skinless fish too, just sear the side the skin used to be on first.
