Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 whole Zest of lemon
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Season with black pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the sea bass fillets skin side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the fillets over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the lemon herb sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Add minced garlic cloves to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, water, and stir in the chopped parsley, dill, and thyme.
Remove sauce from heat and let it sit for a minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Once the fish is done, remove the fillets from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle the lemon herb sauce generously over the warm sea bass fillets.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
