Preheat the oven to 425 F. Oil a broiler pan and rack or baking pan with olive oil. Lightly sprinkle the sea bass fillets all over with Kosher salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning. Place the Chilean sea bass on the oiled broiler rack, skin-side down. Bake the fish fillets at 425 F for about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Whisk until combined. Brush. Place the sea bass fillets in a baking dish and pat dry with a paper towel. Brush the fish with the olive oil mixture. (It’s okay if some of the oil runs off.) Season. Sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Bake.
Chilean Sea Bass can be found in the southern ocean areas of Chile, Argentina, South Africa, and New Zealand which is probably why this variety cost more than the average fish per pound. If you’ve ever enjoyed it, you know it’s worth every single dime.
No, Chilean sea bass is actually a type of Patagonian toothfish and is sometimes referred to as Antarctic toothfish. It has become popular in the United States under the name “Chilean sea bass” because it is often caught off the coast of Chile.
