Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sea bass fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for mayonnaise)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (for mayonnaise)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice on both sides.
Place the seasoned sea bass fillets on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, prepare the garlic mayonnaise. Mince the garlic cloves finely or crush them into a paste using a garlic press.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, a few drops at a time, until the mixture starts to thicken. Once it’s emulsified, you can add the oil in a thin stream.
Stir in the salt and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, tasting and adjusting the seasoning as needed. Set the garlic mayonnaise aside.
Once the sea bass is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the sea bass fillets warm, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by a dollop of garlic mayonnaise. Add a lemon wedge to each plate for extra freshness.
Enjoy your Sea Bass with Garlic Mayonnaise as a flavorful and sophisticated meal!
