Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse and pat dry the sea bass fillets with paper towels.
Zest and juice the lemon. Reserve the juice for later use and mix the zest with grated garlic, minced parsley, and thyme in a small bowl.
Brush a baking dish with olive oil and arrange the fillets in a single layer, skin-side down if the skin is still on the fillets.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Season the fillets with salt and pepper, then evenly spread the lemon-herb mixture over each fillet.
Pour the lemon juice over the fish to add tang and moisture.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow the tops to lightly brown.
Garnish with extra parsley or lemon slices, if desired, and serve immediately.
