Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Slice half of the lemon into thin rounds and juice the other half.
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh thyme, fresh oregano, minced garlic cloves, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pour the olive oil and herb mixture over the sea bass fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the lemon slices over the fillets.
Arrange the baby asparagus and cherry tomatoes around the fillets on the baking sheet.
Drizzle a little more olive oil over the vegetables if desired, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sea bass is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the baked sea bass with the roasted vegetables, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
