Grilled Sea Bass with Brown Butter
Whole sea bass grilled and finished with a nutty brown butter and capers. Cooking the butter until it turns visibly golden-brown and smells distinctly nutty, right before it goes over the fish, gives this dish its signature toasted depth instead of tasting like plain melted butter.
