Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (about 6 oz each) sea bass fillets
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 wedges lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped cilantro, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, olive oil, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the sea bass fillets in a large, shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the sea bass, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Remove the sea bass fillets from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the sea bass for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil on medium heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes to create a glaze.
Remove the sea bass from the oven and brush with the reduced marinade glaze.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side. Pair with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
