SEA BASS IN GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

SEA BASS IN GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

In the tropics, you would call this Corvina in garlic sauce.  I have to tell you it is my favorite dish to order at restaurants.  This is almost as good as some of the restaurant meals I've had.  My husband is not a huge fish fan, but he is being converted with recipes like this one.  Swai and catfish would work well in this recipe as well as Tilapia, I imagine.  Yummy, I love this recipe and I hope you do too!

1 lb sea bass fillets

¹/₄ tsp paprika (1 mL)

¹/₄ tsp onion salt (1 mL)

¹/₄ tsp seasoning salt (1 mL)

1¹/₂ tbsp butter (22 mL)

1 tbsp olive oil (15 mL)
