Total time: 50 min

Active time: 1 min

Serves: 3

Chilean sea bass is flavorful without seasoning. Its high fat content keeps the flesh rich, moist, and tender during roasting. This recipe ends by broiling the fillet to create a crispy crust.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds Chilean sea bass

Hardware

oven

Steps

  1. Roast Chilean sea bass at 150°C (300°F) until internal temperature reaches 55°C (130°F). About firty-five minutes.

  2. Broil until internal temperature reaches 57°C (134°F). About two minutes. This creates a crispy surface.

  3. Let Chilean sea bass sit in oven for five minutes such that its internal temperature would rise to 60°C (140°F). This ensures safe consumption.

  4. Serve right away.

Notes

  1. From hygienic considerations, fish can be consumed safely if the flesh temperature reaches 62°C (145°F), or if a temperature of 57°C (135°F) is maintained for five minutes.

  2. From tastiness considerations, Chilean sea bass becomes too firm at 62°C (145°F).
