1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for sprinkling on fisholive-oil
Coarse sea salt or kosher saltsalt
Freshly ground black pepperpepper
2 pounds Chilean sea bass, cut from the thickest part of the fillet, at room temperature

Instructions (3 steps)

01Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the chives in a food processor. Turn on the processor and add the olive oil through the feed tube in a thin steady stream. Season with salt and pepper. Stop to taste, then adjust, adding more oil, chives, salt or pepper as desired. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and reserve.
02Place the sea bass in a sauté pan or roasting pan just large enough to fit the fillets. Sprinkle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast until the fish is just barely cooked in the center. It will continue to cook once it is removed from the oven. (It should take about 9 minutes per inch of thickness.)
03Transfer the sea bass to serving plates and sprinkle with the chive oil.
