Sea Bass With Citrus-Olive-Caper Sauce

This elegant sea bass with citrus-olive-caper sauce is a vibrant celebration of Mediterranean flavours. The delicate, flaky white fish is grilled until the skin is crisp, providing a wonderful contrast to the punchy, zesty topping. By using fresh lemon segments, briny Kalamata olives, and salty capers, you create a sophisticated dish that relies on high-quality ingredients rather than complex techniques. It is a light yet deeply satisfying meal that feels special enough for a dinner party but is simple enough for a quick weekday supper.

As a heart-healthy main course, this recipe is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids and essential minerals. The sauce is whisked together in minutes, requiring no cooking, which keeps the flavours bright and the nutritional profile intact. Serve these fillets alongside crushed new potatoes or a crisp green salad for a balanced, nutritious lunch. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking to incorporate more fresh seafood into their diet without spending hours in the kitchen.
