Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole lime
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Zest and juice one of the limes. Slice the second lime into thin rounds and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
Lay the sea bass fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased foil.
Brush the herb and lime mixture generously over each fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.
Place the lime slices on top of the fillets, covering them evenly.
Dot small pieces of butter on top of each fillet for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
