Cut greens into 1/2-inch-wide slices and chop stems. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 Tbs. butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook ginger, stirring for 30 seconds. Add greens and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Season greens with salt and pepper and keep warm, covered. Pat sea bass fillets dry. Sprinkle fillets with coriander and season with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and then saute fillets, skin sides down, pressing gently with a spatula if fillets curl until skin is golden, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and saute about 2 minutes more or until just cooked through. Serve sea bass with beet greens and sauce.

Add the fish fillets and cook for 1 minute, or until you can easily slide a spatula underneath and turn the fish over (you may have to do this in two batches so that you don't crowd the fish).
• Turn the fish over and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet (5 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness), until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart with the tines of a fork. Remove from the heat and transfer to plates or a platter. Squeeze lime juice over each piece of fish and serve, garnishing each serving with a generous spoonful of salsa.
