Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 1 medium Red onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Zest and juice the lemon, setting them aside separately.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, finely chopped parsley, oregano, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Place the sea bass fillets in a shallow baking dish. Pour the lemon herb mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Allow the fish to marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red onion thinly, and pit and slice the Kalamata olives.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and red onion around the fish in the baking dish.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked sea bass with the roasted vegetables, garnished with any remaining fresh herbs and additional lemon wedges, if desired.
