Honey Glazed Sea Bass

This Hong Kong style honey-glazed sea bass recipe is sweet and fragrant. This dish is usually served at Chinese banquets as a delicacy on the table. Finding a thick cut of sea bass is the key to a juicy and flakey baked fish. I highly recommend getting the sea bass at Costco or your local seafood store.

You will need the cha siu sauce in order to make this recipe. Unfortunately, there are no recipe substitutions for the sauce.

Honey glazed sea bass is super easy and you will definitely impress your friends and family if you make this!

Ingredients you need for your honey glazed sea bass:

• sea bass (go for a thicker cut for juicier flavor) – around 1.25 lbs total
• char siu sauce (Chinese bbq sauce)
• soy sauce
• oyster sauce
• honey
• sugar
• olive oil

Steps to make honey glazed sea bass:

• Step 1. Make marinade by mixing 2 tbs char siu sauce with 1 tbs soy sauce, 1/2 tbs oyster sauce, 1.2 tbs honey, and 1 tbs sugar.
• Step 2. Pat sea bass dry with a paper towel and add marinade to both sides of the fish. If you want to make this quick, marinate the sea bass for 15-30 minutes before baking. If you have more time, I recommend to marinate overnight for a deeper flavor.
• Step 3. Top the fish with some oil.
• Step 4. Line baking pan with foil. Add marinated sea bass and bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Step 5. Take out sea bass and turn your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Step 6. Brush honey on all sides of the sea bass. Then return to oven to bake at 475 for 5 more minutes or until golden at the top. This step is to brown the top and caramelize the honey!
• Step 7. When its done, plate the sea bass and pour 1/2 tbs soy sauce on top before eating!
