Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 60 milliliters White wine (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden and softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Drizzle the sautéed onions with 1 tablespoon of honey, stirring to coat, and cook for another minute until lightly caramelized. If using white wine, deglaze the skillet by pouring it in and letting it reduce for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lightly grease a baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly on the bottom of the dish.
Arrange the sea bass fillets on top of the onions. Drizzle the fillets with lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve the sea bass fillets over the softened onions, garnished with fresh thyme, if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad.
