Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F; oil a baking or broiler pan.

  2. Season 4 Chilean sea bass fillets with Kosher salt, black pepper, and Creole seasoning.

  3. Place fillets skin-side down on the prepared pan; bake 15-20 minutes until fish reaches 145 F internal temperature.

  4. While fish bakes, combine 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallots in a saucepan.

  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream.

  7. Remove pan from heat; whisk in one piece of cold butter.

  8. Return pan to low heat, gradually incorporating remaining butter while whisking until blended and smooth.

  9. Season sauce with salt and pepper, maintaining warmth until serving.

  10. Drizzle sauce over the sea bass and garnish with lemon wedges.
