Prep:
For the sea bass: If you buy packaged fresh fillets, then there is no need to wash them again. Just touch its flesh to see if there are any tiny leftover bones, then use a tweezer to pluck them out.
For the green lettuce: Roughly chop the lettuce, wash it clean, then spin dry in a colander or use a paper towel to pat dry.
For the cabbage: Rinse the cabbage and pat dry using a paper towel, then cut it in half. Keep cutting each half into halves again, then cut to remove the white stem off of the four quarters. Finally, slice each quarter into shreds.
