Oriental Sea Bass

Oriental Sea Bass is my go to healthy at home Chinese meal.  I love the idea of Chinese, but don’t want the added salt or MSG;and therefore, I make my own.  You can substitute chicken in this dish.  It’s fun to experiment with foods that we don’t grow up eating.  I like Chinese food and so does my family.

The Process

I take Sea Bass loins and pat them dry.  This process is very important. After this, I salt and pepper them and then coat them with some flour or cornstarch.

In a fry pan, place 2 tbsp canola oil and cook about 1 minute on each side.

Remove the fish from the pan to a platter and keep warm.  and add 2 cloves of sliced garlic to heat through. I use a package of frozen oriental mixed vegetables and sautee them quickly.

Meanwhile I make a sauce from and add it to the pan.  Return the the fish to the pan  with the vegetables and add the sauce.

Slide everything onto the platter.

You can make some rice to go with this or noodles.
