Pan-Seared Striped Bass I am a big fan of striped bass and its culinary options. Striped bass have white meat and a mild flavor, but it is their texture that makes them so versatile. They can be pan-seared like salmon, grilled, cold-smoked, broiled or sautéed. 4 skin-on striped bass fillets 1 lemon 3 tablespoons olive…
