How to Make Ginger Onion Fried Sea Bass

1. Prepare the Fish
Pat the sea bass dry and lightly season with black pepper. Keeping the fish dry helps it crisp nicely.

2. Pan-Fry Lightly
Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté Aromatics
In the same pan, add onions and cook until soft and lightly caramelized. Add ginger and garlic, stirring until fragrant.

4. Bring It Together
Return the fish to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and vinegar (or lemon juice). Gently spoon the sauce over the fish and cook for 1–2 minutes.

5. Garnish & Serve
Top with green onions or cilantro and serve hot.


Serving Suggestions

  • Steamed brown rice or jasmine rice
