Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice from half a lemon, minced garlic (crush the 3 garlic cloves), thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the sea bass fillets and let them marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Wash and chop the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the zucchini into half-moons, cut the carrot into thin strips, and dice the red bell pepper. Place all the chopped vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables, season with a pinch of salt, and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Place the marinated sea bass fillets on top of the vegetables.
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and lay one slice over each sea bass fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sea bass is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Plate the sea bass fillets with the roasted vegetables and garnish with additional fresh rosemary or thyme if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
