Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 1 fresh lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
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 the lemon and then cut it in half. Set the zest aside and squeeze out the juice into a small bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the sea bass fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Slice the zucchinis into rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Arrange the vegetables around the sea bass in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and dill evenly over the sea bass and vegetables.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque at the center.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 2 minutes to slightly brown the fish.
Serve the Paleo Lemon Herb Baked Sea Bass hot, garnished with extra lemon slices if desired.
