Ingredients
- 4 fillets sea bass About 6 ounces each.
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger Finely chopped.

Instructions
- Begin by patting the sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sea bass to a serving plate. Top with the ginger and onion mixture and garnish with chopped green onions.
