Sea Bass
- 1 lb Chilean sea bass (two fillets)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Honey Garlic Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp red crushed pepper (or to taste)
- 1 garlic clove (finely minced)
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Season the sea bass: Generously season the Chilean sea bass fillets on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Place them skin-side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the glaze: While the fish cooks, mix together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and red crushed pepper in a small bowl to create a sweet and spicy glaze.
- Glaze and finish cooking: Brush the cooked sea bass generously with the honey garlic glaze. Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked through and the glaze has caramelized to a crispy, golden brown topping.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of red crushed pepper according to your heat preference.
- Ensure the sea bass fillets are of similar thickness for even cooking.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the glaze.
- Serving suggestion: Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
