Ingredients
  

For the Fish
  • 2 filets Chilean Sea Bass the star of your dish, known for its mild flavor and flaky texture
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil can substitute with avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon Coarse Kosher Salt elevates the fish's flavor; sea salt is an alternative
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder adds depth; fresh garlic can work too
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika gives a smoky hint; sweet paprika is milder if preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder adds sweetness; fresh onions can be sautéed as a substitute
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Pepper brightens the dish; fresh lemon zest with cracked black pepper can work
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter creates a rich buttery base
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) key for flavor in the sauce; fresh cloves are preferred
  • 1/4 cup White Wine substitute with chicken broth for non-alcoholic
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Cracked Black Pepper for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes introduce heat; adjust or omit to preference
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice brightens flavors; lime juice adds a zesty twist
  • 1 tablespoon Capers bring brininess and acidity; olives can be an alternative
