CHILEAN SEA BASS WITH A PINEAPPLE-DIJON PAN SAUCE RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat the fish dry, with paper towels and lightly season with Old Bay Seasoning. (NOTE: If you can't find Old Bay Seasoning, lightly season with salt & pepper and a little paprika.) In an oven-proof skillet, add enough oil to lightly coat the skillet. Heat on medium-high until the oil begins to shimmer, but not smoke. Place the seasoned fish into the skillet and allow to sear, until lightly brown-- about 4 to 5 minutes. Test that the fish is ready to be turned, when a skillet easily loosens the fish. Turn the fish over, then place the skillet into the preheated oven. Roast for about 7 to 9 minutes (internal temperature should be about 140°F). Remove the fish to a plate, and tightly cover with foil. SAUCE: Drain any excess oil and return the skillet to the stove, on medium-high. Add the pineapple juice, and deglaze the pan by scraping any browned bits. Add the white wine and chicken stock and allow the liquid to reduce to about half-- about 5 minutes, on medium-high. Remove the skillet from heat, and add the unsalted butter. Whisk until melted and smooth.
