Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 2 whole oranges
- 1 whole lemons
- 1 whole limes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Zest and juice the oranges, lemon, and lime into a small bowl. Reserve the zest for later use.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the citrus juices, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the sea bass fillets in a large baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Pour the citrus mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Add the thyme sprigs and 1/4 cup of water to the baking dish to keep the fish moist while baking.
Sprinkle the reserved citrus zest lightly over the fillets for an aromatic burst of flavor.
Bake the sea bass in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, and enjoy your vibrant and delicious Citrus Twist Sea Bass!
