Rinse the brown rice to remove extra starch

Add 4 cups of water, olive oil, 2 cups of brown rice, and salt to the 2 Quart Sauce Pan. Bring rice to a boil. Stir brown rice to prevent sticking.

Once the rice is brought to a boil, cover the sauce pan and bring heat down to medium-low and leave covered for 40 - 45 minutes.

After 40 - 45 minutes, take rice off the heat and let sit with cover on until ready to serve.

Pat the fish dry with paper toweling. Inspect the fish for pin bones, remove any bones.

Pre-heat the 8.5" Sauté Skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan. Allow the oil to heat for a few seconds then add the sprig of thyme and the garlic clove.

Carefully swirl the oil to infuse the flavors of the garlic and herb. Use caution, the thyme leaves will snap and crackle.

Season the fish on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

Add the sea bass to the hot oil. Let it cook on one side for 7-8 minutes. This will form a nice crust on the first side.

Turn the fish and allow it to finish cooking for 2-3 minutes.

Remove the fish from the pan. Serve immediately.

After removing the fish from the pan, use the hot oil to wilt fresh baby spinach, chopped kale or Swiss Chard. Once wilted, season the greens with salt and pepper. Top the greens with a pat of butter.

Serve the fish and greens over brown rice.
