Sea Bass With Citrus-Olive-Caper Sauce

This was good but not exceptional. The olives and capers worked fine with the citrus. I broiled the fish with the lemon slices on top. I don't know what the point would be of putting them in the marinade.

I baked instead of broiled. But, the rest was exactly as directed. I loved this recipe. So easy.

This recipe has flaws. The instructions on the lemon are quite unclear, and 6 minutes under a close broiler ruined $25 worth of fish. Back to the test kitchen for this. Worst meal I've cooked in years.

I didn't care for the sauce, particularly the flavor created by putting Kalamata olives directly into lemon juice.

We did not like this recipe at all even though we love olives and capers. They did not work in this case. I will not make it again.

I couldn't find bass, so I substituted with cod. It was still delicious! The brightness of the sauce was a great compliment to the simple preparation of the fish.

This is a great weeknight dinner. It's quick, easy and delicious and I'll definitely make it again. I substituted basil for the oregano but otherwise followed the recipe. Love the bright lemony, salty, fresh herb flavour.

Sea bass is rarely available here in the Great Northwest, so we substituted local rockfish. The cooking method suits this mild white fish and the sauce is delicious. Unlike others, I find that these mild fish fillets demand a strong sauce, otherwise the dish has no flavor. A Rogue Valley Pinot Gris completed the flavor profile.

I really like capers, olives and citrus, but like others, I felt the flavors were too strong for the sauce. I noticed other reviewers added tomato, so I might try that next time.

Delicious and pretty easy to make. I like the powerful flavor combination, and my wife as well. I used dried oregeno but I am sure fresh would have been even better.

I really like this recipe. I think I would use capers alternately. Also, I like sea bass as sushi, it is delicious.

WOW! That was goooooood. Made it exactly as said except that I just used basic black olives. Was very satisfied with this dish. The sea bass tasted amazing with lemon juice and capers! It was so easy to made as well!

This was easy and very good. My family loves olives and capers (even my 8 year-old). Let me confess my modifications though: grilled tilapia, and chopped parsley and fresh tomato added to the sauce. A tasty was to dress up any mild fish.

If you like olives and capers like my family does, you will love this recipe. I am guilty of modifying it though, but like any decent recipe, it affords that. We grilled tilapia, and I added chopped parsley, basil and just a bit of tomato to the sauce. This made it less olive-y. The recipe is easy to make and the ingredients are always in our kitchen.

I was not impressed. The very strong combination of flavors overwhelmed the sea bass and was just not tasty in my opinion. I felt it ruined a nice cut of sea bass and I would not make it again.
