¼ cup Erath Pinot Gris
¼ cup fresh chopped parsley or basil
1-1.5 pounds Chilean sea bass, cut into 4 filets

Cook over medium heat until the tomatoes start to burst. Add in the herbs.

Meanwhile heat butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the fish skin side down and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
