Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Season the fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, prepare the lemon herb sauce.
Zest and juice the lemons, keeping them separate.
Finely chop the parsley, dill, and chives and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, white wine, and capers, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, dill, and chives.
Once the sea bass is cooked, remove the skillet from the oven. Be careful, as the handle will be hot.
Serve the sea bass fillets with the lemon herb sauce drizzled over the top.
