Begin by taking your sea bass fillet and sprinkling it with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavor. Allow the fish to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.

While the sea bass is marinating, pour cooking oil into a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Let the oil heat up for about 5 minutes or until it shimmers.

Carefully place the marinated sea bass into the hot skillet. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until the fish turns golden brown.

In the same skillet, reduce heat slightly and add minced ginger and garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Toss in the chopped green onions and continue to cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Return the crispy sea bass to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, gently stirring to coat the fish evenly.

Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Plate your Ginger Onion Fried Sea Bass while it’s still hot, serving it alongside steamed rice or your choice of sides.
