Start with fresh sea bass fillets.

Season both sides of the fillets with salt, pepper, and garlic seasoning blend from Costco.

Heat olive oil in a pan and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.

Lower the flame to avoid burning the butter, then add Smart Balance butter to the pan.

Add a handful of Capers to the pan, squishing them to release flavor.

Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan, stirring to combine.

Place the seasoned fillets in the pan, skin side down (though they are skinless).

Roll a lemon to soften it, then squeeze juice over the fish, removing any seeds.

Add more butter on top of the fish as it cooks to enhance flavor.

Watch for the edges of the fish to turn white, indicating it is cooking through.

Flip the fish once it is more than halfway cooked, adding more butter and wine to the pan after flipping.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of the fish for added flavor, if desired.

Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the fish; it should go in easily without resistance.

Plate the fish neatly for serving.
