Pan fried Sea Bass with Lemongrass Sauce by Rontree Chan



Clean and remove scale of the fish.
I cut it butterfly way, but kept the bone intact. Season with salt and tap with some flour. Pan fried it for around 12 mins for each side( depend on the fish size). Try to use non stick pan and make sure the fish can fit in. After is done remove set aside.

Prepare sauce: mix all in a bowl 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 3 tbsp lime juice, 3-4 tsp sugar. I stalk of bruised lemongrass finely chopped. ( optional : for colouring, some finely diced yellow + red bell pepper)
Heat a pan with oil and minced garlic. After got the fragrant, pour in the sauce mixture and cook till boiling. Taste it to adjust to ur own preference.
Pour the sauce over the fish and is done.
Can choose to strain off the lemongrass as it is hardly edible.
